Abstract

Air embolism is known to be a complicating factor in several clinical settings, including thoracic, cardiovascular and neurosurgical operations, central line placement, penetrating thoracic and cranial trauma and haemodialysis. Computed tomography (CT) is useful for showing cerebral air embolism. However, CT demonstration of massive air in all of the major cerebral arteries is extremely rare. In this report, we present a 45-year-old woman with cerebrovascular pneumoangiogram on postmortem CT examination after an unsuccessful posttraumatic cardiopulmonary resuscitation and discuss the possible mechanisms of pneumoangiogram.

Özet

Hava embolizminin torasik, kardiyovasküler ve nöroşirürjik ameliyatlar, hemodiyaliz ve santral kateter yerleştirilmesi, delici toraks ve kraniyal travma gibi birçok klinik durum sonrasında ortaya çıktığı bilinmektedir. Bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT), hava embolizminin gösterilmesinde faydalıdır. Bununla birlikte majör serebral arterlerin tümünde masif havanın BT ile gösterilmesi oldukça nadirdir. Bu yazıda, başarısız posttavmatik kardiyopulmoner resüsitasyonu takiben yapılan postmortem BT incelemede saptanan serebrovasküler pnömoanjiyogramlı 45 yaşındaki kadın olguda olası mekanizmalar değerlendirildi
