摘要：Objective:To report a rare case of otogenic tension pneumocephalus as a complication of a diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor in a patient with a ventriculoperitoneal(V.P.)shunt.
Patients:Twenty-three-year-old man with a confirmed diffuse leptomeningeal glioneuronal tumor diagnosis was treated for temporal bone defect and considerable pneumocephalus one year after V.P.shunt.
Intervention(s):The patient underwent a Transmastoid,retrolabyrinthine approach.The defect was closed with temporalis facia graft and conchal cartilage as a double-layer closure,and then DuraSeal® was placed over the repaired area.
Main outcome measure(s):Resolution of the pneumocephalus.
Results:There was a significant reduction in the pneumocephalus on the first day post-operatively.
Conclusions:Spontaneous or secondary pneumocephalus development should be considered in patients with brain tumors,hydrocephalus,and patients who undergo V.P.shunt insertion.
