Abstract

Acute bacterial meningitis is a critical condition also because ofassociated complications and sequelae besides being a life-threateninginfection. The complications may develop due to disease itself,diagnostic procedures or treatment. Pneumocephaly is defined as thepresence of air in the cranial cavity. Pneumocephalus of spinal originmay be associated with spinal trauma, penetrating injury, tumors, andinfections resulting from iatrogenic causes such as lumbar puncture.Here, we present a case of a 22-year-old male with the diagnosis ofacute bacterial meningitis in whom pneumocephalus occurred afterlumbar puncture. In this study, we aimed to draw attention to a rarecomplication of lumbar puncture.

Özet

Akut bakteriyel menenjit; hayatı tehdit eden bir enfeksiyon olmasının yanı sıra komplikasyonları ve sekelleri nedeniyle de önemlidir. Komplikasyonlar; hastalığın kendine, tanı için kullanılan işlemlere ya da tedaviye bağlı olabilir. Pnömosefali, kraniyal boşluklarda hava bulunması olarak tanımlanır. Pnömosefalinin spinal nedenleri arasında; spinal travmalar, penetran yaralanmalar, tümörler, enfeksiyonlar ile lomber ponksiyon gibi iyatrojenik sebepler yer almaktadır. Bu çalışma ile menenjit tanısı ile izlenen 22 yaşındaki erkek hastada lomber ponksiyon sonrası gelişen pnömosefali sunulmuş ve lomber ponksiyonun nadir bir komplikasyonuna dikkat çekilmiştir.
