We report a case of pneumocephalus following a water jet injury to the nose incurred during a water-skiing fall. Pneumocephalus due to this type of injury has not been previously reported, to our knowledge. Since this unusual injury may be associated with serious complications, it must be promptly recognized and treated.

Intracranial ependymomas in children: a review of 43 cases.
43 cases of intracranial ependymomas in children 0-13 years of age have been reviewed with attention given to various clinical aspects, including location, age, duration of history, signs and symptoms, and plain skull film abnormalities. 39 of the patients were treated by intracranial surgical procedures and 30 of these also had radiation therapy. Three patients had needle biopsy only and one died without treatment. The survival rate was below that anticipated and in part felt to be related to the frequent occurrence of malignant tumors in this series.
