Abstract

Computed tomography-guided percutaneous transthoracic fineneedle aspiration biopsy of lung lesions is a well known diagnostic technique. Nevertheless, it has some complications; such as pneumothorax, intraparenchymal hemorrhage and hemoptysis, which are not rare. Air embolism is one of the rare but potentially fetal complications of this procedure. Herein, we report the case of a 69-year-old male, in which case of systemic air embolism developed after the performance of lung biopsy. Early diagnosis and prompt oxygen therapy is crucial for patient's survival so careful reviewing of the obtained computed tomography images during the biopsy may prevent a missing systemic air embolism and provide an adequate therapy.

Özet

Akciğerden bilgisayarlı tomografi eşliğinde perkütan transtorasik iğne aspirasyon biyopsisi iyi bilinen bir tanı yöntemidir. Ancak bu yöntemin pnömotoraks, intraparenkimal kanama ve hemoptizi gibi nadir olmayan bazı komplikasyonları vardır. Hava embolisi bu prosedürün en nadir ancak potansiyel olarak fatal komplikasyonlardan biridir. Bu yazıda, akciğer biyopsisi sonrası sistemik hava embolisi gelişen 69 yaşındaki bir erkek olguyu sunacağız. Erken tanı ve hızlı oksijen tedavisi hayati önem taşıdığıdından biyopsi sırasında elde edilen bilgisayarlı tomografi görüntülerinin dikkatli incelenmesi olası bir sistemik hava embolisinin gözden kaçmasını önleyecek ve uygun tedaviye olanak sağlayacaktır.
