abstract="BACKGROUND: Pneumocephalus is uncommon in craniofacial trauma and a rare occurrence in non-contact sports. It may be asymptomatic or present with signs of increased intracranial pressure and the majority of cases will resolve with conservative management. However, there should be a high index of clinical suspicion to recognise, diagnose, and manage it appropriately, as complications may be fatal.   FINDINGS: To our knowledge, this is the first case report of pneumocephalus secondary to a &quot;minor&quot; head injury during a soccer match.   CONCLUSION: We outline the management of this condition and highlight signs that should generate a high index of suspicion.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>",
