We report a case of cerebral lipiodol embolism following transcatheter chemoembolization (TACE) for hepatocellular carcinoma. A 70-year-old woman with a large unresectable hepatocellular carcinoma underwent TACE. Her level of consciousness deteriorated after the procedure, and magnetic resonance imaging and non-contrast computed tomography revealed a cerebral lipiodol embolism. Despite intensive care, the patient died 2 weeks later. The complication might have been due to systemic-pulmonary shunts caused by previous surgeries and/or direct invasion of the recurrent tumor.
我们报告一例肝细胞癌经导管肝动脉化疗栓塞术(TACE)后发生脑碘油栓塞的病例。一名70岁的女性患有无法切除的巨大肝细胞癌,接受了TACE治疗。术后她的意识水平恶化,磁共振成像和非增强计算机断层扫描显示脑碘油栓塞。尽管进行了重症监护,患者仍在2周后死亡。该并发症可能是由于既往手术引起的体肺分流和/或复发性肿瘤的直接侵犯所致。
