Intracranial air on computerized tomography.
Intracranial gas may be epidural, subdural, subarachnoid, parenchymal, or intraventricular. Intracranial air can be easily diagnosed and its location correctly assessed by computerized tomography. Potentially serious complications of intracranial air, such as tension pneumocephalus, can be rapidly and accurately identified, facilitating appropriate clinical therapy.
