The authors describe a case of air embolism during an endonasal YAG laser surgery in a 10-year-old child. This accident was caused by the coaxial air cooling system of the laser ruby tip. The importance of end tidal CO2 monitoring and precordial auscultation during laser surgery even in patients without risk factors is underlined.
