Pneumorrhachis (PR) means the presence of air in the spinal canal; it is an exceptional, but important radiographic finding, which may be associated with different aetiologies and pathways of air entry into the spinal canal. ⋯ PR can be epidural or subdural, iatrogenic or traumatic. It is usually asymptomatic, but can be also associated with marked morbidity, especially when it is subdural in the cervical region. It can be regarded as a predictor of the severity of head injury. Pneumorrhachis does not usually require surgical intervention.
