- Abstract
Pneumocephalus consists of an accumulation of air inside the intracranial cavity, which may or may not be associated with rupture of the dura mater. This has been associated with traumatic causes, accounting for up to 90% of cases and the main symptoms can occur as a result of intracranial hypertension. The objective of this report was to highlight the importance of Physical therapy in Pneumocephalus, describe the results of the intervention and discuss aggregated methods used in this atypical case. This is a case report of the physiotherapeutic approach in pneumocephalus, carried out at the Hospital Universitário do Oeste do Paraná, cataloged through analysis of the electronic medical record, physical record, laboratory tests and imaging tests. We concluded that by approaching the pneumocephalus with oxygen therapy supporting high flow, it was possible to observe the reabsorption of intracranial gas, in addition to maintaining and/or restoring the patient's functionality, making him active, through kinesiotherapy, respiratory physical therapy and early mobilization.
