국문 초록

Tension pneumocephalus is a neurosurgical emergency that occurs when air is trapped in the intracranial cavity, leading to brain compression and causing severe neurological symptoms such as decreases in motor and sensory function, and consciousness. Most cases of pneumocephalus require conservative treatment, but in case with a neurologic deficit, a neurosurgical emergency operation is needed. Here, we present the two cases of posttraumatic tension pneumocephalus undergone burr hole trephination with saline infusion and craniotomy. By sharing our experience with these cases, we hope to provide an option for the treatment of such cases.
