(7) Pneumorrhachis can be seen in epidural anesthesia, epidural abscess, lumbar puncture, scalp or spinal injuries, and

Traumatic pneumothorax: Is a chest drain always necessary?
Although underpowered, the secondary outcomes showed similar success rates in the management of
traumatic pneumothorax. [10]

Traumatic pneumothorax is produced due to a direct or indirect injury in the chest [5]; however, in some series,
traumatic pneumothorax is classified depending on the cause, including iatrogenic pneumothorax and barotrauma in this classification, calling it simply penetrating and nonpenetrating pneumothorax [6].

Causes of the 7 reported deaths were advanced TB (2), encephalitis in an untreated HIV patient (1),

A deep dive into the case revealed that the coder had assigned the code for
