摘要：
We present a rare case of tension pneumocephalus due to high-dose radiotherapy used to treat nasopharyngeal carcinoma. A skull base defect causing tension pneumocephalus was identified and was repaired successfully. The case emphasizes the importance of careful consideration before applying irradiation treatment to patients with head and neck malignancy and urges early detection of potentially life-threatening complications.
