Coronal view of the CT scan reveals opacification of left ethmoid and maxillary sinus, indicating left chronic sinusitis. Note the air bubble in the left olfactory fossa, which gives us a hint of the possible site of breach in the lateral lamella of cribriform plate on patient's left side.

Computed tomography (CT) scan revealed left maxillary and ethmoid sinuses opacification and the possible site of breach in the lateral lamella of cribriform plate on patient's left side (Figure 1).
The transverse view of the CT scan shows air accumulation in the subarachnoid space indicating a pneumocephalus.
