A patient with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease developed a cough, loss of consciousness, and convulsions during an air flight. Chest radiography showed a large lung bulla.

The findings were compatible with cerebral air embolism, most likely predisposed to by lung bulla and an air flight. The unde...
متن کاملCerebral Venous Air Embolism due to a Hidden Skull Fracture Secondary to Head Trauma.
Cerebral venous air embolism is sometimes caused by head trauma. One of the paths of air entry is considered a skull fracture. We report a case of cerebral venous air embolism following head trauma. The patient was a 55-year-old man who fell and hit his head. A head computed tomography (CT) scan showed the air in the superior sagittal sinus; however, no skull fractures were detected. Follow-up ...
