The presence of air in spinal canal is called as "pneumorrhachis." Nontraumatic,
noniatrogenic spontaneous spinal air is an uncommon case. Peripheral alveoli
burst due to the increased pressure in alveoli in the case of trauma, asthma,
pneumothorax, or pneumomediastinum. Air pass to the mediastinum and then to
retropharyngeal space and reaches to epidural space. In this paper, a 44-year-old
female patient who has a spontaneous pneumorrhachis in the epidural space in the
spinal canal L5-S1 lumbar level has been presented.
