SP - 100 EP - 102 VL - 21 IS - 1 N2 - A 75-year-old woman with a previous repair of a cribiform plate fracture was nasotracheally intubated following a suicide attempt. Twenty-one days later she was readmitted to the hospital with a massive pneumocephalus, followed by a terminal intracranial hemorrhage. Nasotracheal intubation as a contributing factor in the development of pneumocephalus is previously unreported.
