344 top medical experts on Pneumocephalus across 44 countries and 32 U.S. states, including 257 MDs (Physicians). This is based on an objective analysis of their Scientific Publications, Clinical Trials, Medicare, and NIH Grants.

  1. Pneumocephalus: Presence of air or gas within the intracranial cavity (e.g., epidural space, subdural space, intracerebral, etc.) which may result from traumatic injuries, fistulous tract formation, erosions of the skull from neoplasms or infection, neurosurgical procedures, and other conditions.
  2. Clinical guidelines are the recommended starting point to understand initial steps and current protocols in any disease or procedure:
  3. Broader Categories (#Experts): Brain Injuries (4,226), Central Nervous System Diseases (2,038).
  4. Clinical Trials ClinicalTrials.gov : at least 3 including 2 Recruiting
