A Case of Massive Cerebral Arterial Air Embolism Induced by Artificial Pneumothorax and Its Analysis.
Medical Principles and Practice : International Journal of the Kuwait University, Health Science Centre 2018 December 20
OBJECTIVE: This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of cerebral arterial air embolism.
CLINICAL PRESENTATION AND INTERVENTION: The clinical data of a patient with cerebral arterial air embolism induced during artificial pneumothorax was retrospectively analyzed. The patient needed the induction of artificial pneumothorax for medical thoracoscopy, but developed hemiplegia and disturbance of consciousness during the induction, and cerebral arterial air embolism was detected by head computed tomography.
CONCLUSION: Artificial pneumothorax may induce cerebral arterial air embolism.
