title: Intra-parenchyma Pneumocephalus: a Complication of Cochlear Implant.
abstract: OBJECTIVE
  We report an extremely rare case of pneumocephalus after cochlear implantation.
  
  
  METHODS
  Case report and a review of the world literature on pneumocephalus after cochlear implantation.
  
  
  RESULTS
  We present a case of uneventful cochlear implantation in a patient with nasal polyposis. Post-operative nose blowing resulted in subcutaneous emphysema pneumocephale presenting five weeks post surgery. This resolved on conservative therapy, and the patient went on to use her implant successfully.
  
  
  CONCLUSIONS
  To our knowledge this is the first report in the world literature of delayed onset as well as asymptomatic pneumocephalus after cochlear implantation.
