Pneumocephalus with gas-fluid level
Updates to Case Attributes
The patient was in a car accident 15 years ago but didn'tdid not attend any hospital. During these years she didn'tdid not undergo any diagnostic examinations, either. MRMRI examination showed a collection of gas (air) and fluid in the right hemisphere, which is presumed to be a chronic process due to the absence of the surrounding edema. The CT scan showed a fracture of the ethmoid wall and the medial wall of the right orbit, which is the likely entry if site of gas.

Updates to Study Attributes
There is a collection of air (gas) and fluid in the right hemisphere of the brain. The area of hypointense MR signal on T2 WI in the right frontal lobe is due to the presence of gas (air). The area of hyperintense MR signal on T2 WI in the right frontal and parietal lobes is due to fluid collection. There are no signs of surrounding edema.
