Abstract
Pneumocephalus is a rare complication of endoscopic sinus surgery (ESS) and microscopic skull base surgery (MSBS). Postoperatively, patients often present with headache and altered mental status. Unrepaired leaks are associated with an increased risk of ascending meningitis. Standard treatment of pneumocephalus after ESS or MSBS has not been addressed in the literature.
