Pneumolabyrinth is a rare clinical finding that has been documented following head injury and middle ear surgery. We report a case of pneumolabyrinth complicating head injury in an 11 year old male. The condition was diagnosed using high resolution CT imaging and the child was successfully managed conservatively. This case report represents only the fourth documented case of paediatric pneumolabyrinth and the first with a comprehensive audiological follow-up.
