This study aimed to investigate the characteristics of cerebral arterial air embolism.
The clinical data of a patient with cerebral arterial air embolism induced during artificial pneumothorax were retrospectively analyzed. The patient needed the induction of artificial pneumothorax for medical thoracoscopy but developed hemiplegia and disturbance of consciousness during the induction. Cerebral arterial air embolism was detected by head computed tomography.
Artificial pneumothorax may induce cerebral arterial air embolism.
本研究旨在探讨脑动脉空气栓塞的特征。
回顾性分析 1 例因人工气胸诱发脑动脉空气栓塞患者的临床资料。该患者因医疗胸腔镜检查需要行人工气胸诱导,但在诱导过程中出现偏瘫和意识障碍。头部计算机断层扫描发现脑动脉空气栓塞。
人工气胸可能会诱发脑动脉空气栓塞。
