TY - JOUR PY - 1995// TI - Traumatic subarachnoid-pleural fistula: case report JO - Journal of trauma A1 - Godley, C. D. A1 - McCabe, C. J. A1 - Warren, R. L. A1 - Rosenberg, W. S. SP - 808 EP - 811 VL - 38 IS - 5 N2 - Traumatic subarachnoid-pleural fistula was recently diagnosed in an 18-year-old male after a gunshot wound in the chest and spinal column. The diagnosis was suggested by persistent pleural drainage and headache in the setting of signs of spinal injury at the thoracic level. Computed tomographic myelography delineated the dural injury. The fistulous connection was defined and repaired at operation. This paper describes the diagnostic and therapeutic features encountered in the management of this rare disorder.
