Cerebral venous air embolism is a relatively rare condition that arises from iatrogenic or traumatic introduction of air into the venous system. We describe the ultrasonographic findings in a 1-day-old infant with iatrogenic retrograde cerebral venous air embolism, which to our knowledge, is the earliest case reported in the literature to date. This case highlights the role of cerebral ultrasonography in the detection and surveillance of cerebral venous air embolism in neonates.
脑静脉空气栓塞是一种相对罕见的疾病，由医源性或创伤性将空气引入静脉系统引起。我们描述了一名1日龄婴儿医源性逆行性脑静脉空气栓塞的超声检查结果，据我们所知，这是迄今为止文献中报道的最早病例。该病例突出了脑超声在新生儿脑静脉空气栓塞检测和监测中的作用。
