We report the case of an 84-years old female patient who developed cerebral air embolism in association with the indwelling hemodialysis central venous catheter. Pneumocephalus, even though rare, should be included in the differential diagnosis of acute manifestation of neurologic deficits, especially in association with central venous access, surgical interventions or trauma, and requests prompt management. Brain computed tomography scanning remains the investigation of choice.
我们报告了一例 84 岁女性患者，她在留置血液透析中心静脉导管时发生脑空气栓塞。尽管罕见，但应将气颅纳入急性神经功能缺损表现的鉴别诊断中，特别是与中心静脉通路、手术干预或创伤相关时，需要及时处理。脑计算机断层扫描仍然是首选的检查方法。
