Gas gangrene is a severe form of gangrene (tissue death) that usually is caused by Clostridium perfringens. It generally occurs at the site of trauma or a recent surgical wound. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman with sphenoid-ridged meningioma who received preoperative transarterial embolization with polyvinyl alcohol. The patient later developed an intratumoral C perfringens infection and died despite intensive medical care. The case represents an extremely rare complication following transarterial embolization of meningioma.
气性坏疽是坏疽（组织坏死）的一种严重形式，通常由产气荚膜梭菌引起。它一般发生在创伤部位或近期手术伤口处。我们报告一例45岁患有蝶骨嵴脑膜瘤的女性患者，该患者接受了聚乙烯醇术前经动脉栓塞治疗。患者随后发生肿瘤内产气荚膜梭菌感染，尽管接受了重症治疗仍死亡。该病例代表了脑膜瘤经动脉栓塞术后一种极其罕见的并发症。
