Abstract :Pneumorrhachis, defined as the presence of air in the spinal canal, is a rare clinical condition. In this article, we aimed to present a patient with significant head trauma who fell from a height and was diagnosed with pneumorrhachis. A 52-year-old male patient was brought to our emergency department by ambulance due to falling from the stairs while picking grapes at a height of 3 meters. The patient had a subarachnoidal hemorrhage, subdural hemorrhage, pneumocephalus, and fractures in the frontal, temporal, and parietal bones. Air densities were detected in the cervical spinal canal. Traumatic pneumorrhachis is essential as an indicator of accompanying severe injury.
