Figure 11 Head trauma. On image (A) red arrow heads identify significant bilateral petrous-temporal fractures and the white arrow points to small volume pneumocephalus. White arrow heads (both images) indicate subcutaneous emphysema. Radiography , DOI: ( /j.radi ) Copyright © 2011 The College of Radiographers Terms and Conditions

Figure 12 Facial trauma. Red arrow heads indicate fracture to the right frontal sinuses (image A) and to both maxillae (image C). White arrow heads (images B and C) indicate subcutaneous emphysema. Radiography , DOI: ( /j.radi ) Copyright © 2011 The College of Radiographers Terms and Conditions

Figure 13 Iatrogenic (after line insertions into both the left external jugular and left subclavian veins). Soft tissue (A) and bone images (B) at the level of the pituitary fossa: subcutaneous emphysema (white arrow heads) is shown within the right orbit and within the left temporal region (B). Green arrows point to pneumocephalus within the pituitary fossa itself (B). Radiography , DOI: ( /j.radi ) Copyright © 2011 The College of Radiographers Terms and Conditions

Figure 15 Infection. Soft tissue (A) and bone images (B) at the level of the lateral ventricles showing a pyogenic abscess (with both intracranial and soft tissue involvement) related to a previous craniotomy. Gas can be seen both intracranially (green arrow head on A), and extracranially (white arrow head on B).
