A 56-year-old man presented to the emergency room with a sudden onset of drowsiness that began 2 hours before his arrival. Brain computed tomography revealed massive pneumocephalus. The patient was diagnosed with cerebrospinal fluid leakage accompanied by septal perforation. A planned skull base repair was performed using multilayer reconstruction via a trans-septal approach. Following surgery, the patient’s mental state recovered, and the skull base defect was successfully reconstructed. The patient disclosed that he had undergone faith healing sessions at a religious facility, where a metal rod-like instrument was repeatedly inserted into his nose.
