Pnomosefalusisararecomplicationofnasalfractures. A fifty year old man applied to our clinic with the complaintofafallandblowtothenosefivedaysago. Upon examination of ear nose and throat, crepitation on the middle third of the left nasal bone was discovered.TheCTrevealedfreeairintheintracranial cavity near the left sphenoid sinus wall. Patient received follow-up. In early period there was no evidence of cerebrospinal fluid leak. Before treating nasal bone fractures, the most common of facial bone fractures, it is important to keep in mind lifethreatening pneumocephalus complications and request maxillofacial CT scans.
