We report a case of a 42-year-old female who had non-cardiogenic pulmonary edema following a setting position craniotomy to remove a left cerebellar pontine angle mass. During the operation, the patient experienced a sudden drop in her end-tidal CO2 levels, which needed an immediate intervention. After ruling out other potential causes, we determined that air venous embolism was the cause of this unexpected and serious complication. However, the condition was self-limited and resolved with supportive treatment after approximately 1 week. This case highlights the importance of recognizing and managing the unexpected complications of venous air embolism, as well as how prompt intervention and supportive treatment are critical for improving patient outcomes.
我们报告了一例42岁女性患者，该患者在采取仰卧位开颅手术切除左侧小脑桥脑角肿物后出现了非心源性肺水肿。手术过程中，患者的呼气末二氧化碳水平突然下降，需要立即进行干预。在排除其他潜在原因后，我们确定空气静脉栓塞是这一意外且严重并发症的病因。然而，该病情具有自限性，经过约1周的支持治疗后得以缓解。本病例凸显了识别和处理静脉空气栓塞意外并发症的重要性，以及及时干预和支持治疗对于改善患者预后的关键作用。
