Loss of consciousness, a generalized tonic-clonic seizure, rightside weakness, and pneumomediastinum developed suddenly in a 13-year-old boy who had inhaled helium directly from a pressurized helium tank. His condition improved dramatically with hyperbaric oxygen treatment, and he had apparently regained complete neurologic function by the time of follow-up 2 weeks later. On the basis of the boy's clinical presentation and his response to hyperbaric oxygen therapy, we diagnosed a cerebral gas embolism.
一名13岁男孩直接从加压氦气罐吸入氦气后，突然出现意识丧失、全身性强直阵挛发作、右侧肢体无力和气纵隔。经高压氧治疗后，他的病情显著改善，在2周后的随访时，他显然已完全恢复神经功能。根据该男孩的临床表现及其对高压氧治疗的反应，我们诊断为脑气体栓塞。
