Abstract

Pneumorachis is an uncommon condition wherein air infiltrates the spinal canal. The pathophysiology of this condition is still a matter of debate, depending on the type of traumatic mechanism (open or closed) and the assessment of the associated injuries. This report aims to present a case of pneumorachis and comprehensively review the literature to gain a better understanding of the etiologies, associated lesions, and neurological symptoms. By doing so, we hope to enhance our knowledge of the management and modalities of treatment for this condition. Although there are many cases of pneumorachis reported in the literature, none are widespread.
