Amyloidosis of the skull base is a rare entity. A patient with localized amyloidosis of the sphenoid sinus presented at our institution with cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea. Endoscopic excision of the lesion and multilayered obliteration of the sphenoid sinus resolved the symptoms.

Pneumocephalus or collection of air in the intracranial cavity can occur after trauma or surgery. However, delayed pneumocephalus occurring months after the initial injury is not common. We would like to report a case of spontaneous traumatic pneumoencephalocele presenting with transient recurrent hemiparesis 14 months after the initial trauma.
