Abstract
BACKGROUND: Pneumorrhachis and pneumocephalus are rare conditions in which air is found within the spinal canal and brain, respectively. It is mostly asymptomatic and can be located in the intradural or extradural space. Intradural pneumorrhachis should prompt clinicians to search and treat any underlying injury of the skull, chest, or spinal column. OBSERVATIONS: A 68-year-old man presented with a history of cardiopulmonary arrest together with pneumorrhachis and pneumocephalus following a recurrent pneumothorax. The patient reported acute headaches with no other neurological symptoms. He was managed conservatively with bed rest for 48 hours following thoracoscopic talcage of his pneumothorax. Follow-up imaging showed regression of the pneumorrhachis, and the patient reported no other neurological symptoms. LESSONS: Pneumorrhachis is an incidental radiological finding that self-resolves with conservative management. However, it can be a complication resulting from a serious injury. Therefore, close monitoring of neurological symptoms and complete investigations should be performed in patients with pneumorrhachis.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
