In tension pneumocephalus, the continuous accumulation of intracranial air is thought to be caused by a \u201cball valve\u201d mechanism. In turn, this may lead to a mass effect on the brain, with subsequent neurological deterioration and signs of herniation. Tension pneumocephalus is considered a life-threatening, neurosurgical emergency burr-hole evacuation was performed and he experienced a full recovery. However, more invasive surgery was needed to resolve the condition. Delayed tension pneumocephalus is extremely rare and considered a neurosurgical emergency. Pneumocephalus is a complication of head injury in 3.9\u20139.7% of the cases. The accumulation of intracranial air can be acute (&lt;72 h) or delayed (\u226572 h). When intracranial air causes intracranial hypertension and has a mass effect with neurological deterioration, it is called tension pneumocephalus. We represent a clinical case of a 30-year-old male patient with involved in a road traffic accident, complicated by tension pneumocephalus and cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhea on 1 month after trauma and underwent urgent surgical intervention. Burr-hole placement in the right frontal region, evacuation of tension pneumocephalus. Tension pneumocephalus is a life-threatening neurosurgical emergency case, which needs to undergo immediate surgical intervention.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/1793-5482.180904","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2016,4,21]],"date-time":"2016-04-21T06:45:48Z","timestamp":1461221148000},"page":"343-347","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":34,"title":["Posttraumatic
