A case of traumatic pneumocephalus

      A 39-year-old male presented to the Emergency Department (ED) with a chief complaint of headache for 3 days. The patient had fallen down a flight of stairs 3 days prior to presentation and had a loss of consciousness. Following the event, he noted clear nasal discharge and a salty taste in the back of his throat that had resolved spontaneously after 24 h. He finally sought medical attention for worsening headaches, intermittent dizziness, and right eye pain.
