dc.description.abstractThe presence of air in epidural space is called epidural pneumatosis. Epidural pneumatosis is a rarely encountered phenomenon in emergency medicine practice. A 10-year-old patient was admitted with cervical trauma due to a bicycle accident. Subcutaneous emphysema, pneumothorax, pneumomediastinum and epidural pneumatosis were detected. Pretracheal fasciotomy after tube thoracostomy and closed underwater drainage were performed. Since sufficient clinical improvement could not be observed, tracheal exploration and primary repairment were performed. Only after these interventions, epidural pneumatosis and pneumomediastinum completely regressed. The case is presented due to its rarity and with the purpose to remind clinicians of epidural pneumatosis in tracheal injuries.en_US
