Despite observing volumes as high as 22.0 cm3 in patients with radiographic evidence of pneumocephalus, there was no significant difference in brain shift when compared to patients without pneumocephalus. Furthermore, the mean magnitude of brain shift was <1.0 mm regardless of whether pneumocephalus was presenting, suggesting that intracranial air accumulation may not produce clinical significant brain shift in our patients.
