Infarcts from cerebral air embolism are rare events with potentially catastrophic clinical consequences. The imaging features of cerebral air embolism are not well-defined in the literature. We report a novel constellation of MR imaging findings of cerebral arterial air emboli-induced infarcts in a series of 6 patients. Awareness of the more distinguishing MR imaging patterns of cerebral air embolism may help establish this diagnosis and facilitate implementation of timely treatment.
脑空气栓塞引起的梗死是罕见的事件，可能会产生灾难性的临床后果。脑空气栓塞的影像学特征在文献中尚未明确界定。我们报告了一系列 6 例脑动脉空气栓塞引起的梗死的新型磁共振成像发现。了解脑空气栓塞更具特征性的磁共振成像模式有助于确立这一诊断，并有助于及时实施治疗。
