Core Tip |
Traumatic Pneumorrhachis (PR) is defined as presence of free air in the spinal canal, and is very rare. Differentiation between epidural and intradural PR is important, because the latter is an indication of severe underlying injury. Computed tomography imaging of the entire spine must be performed to look for extension of air, as well as identify concomitant skull, torso or spinal injuries. Most patients are asymptomatic and are managed conservatively, but a few may develop neurological symptoms that need further evaluation and management. |
