Purpose To narratively review published information on prevention, detection,
pathophysiology, and appropriate treatment of vascular air embolism (VAE). Materials and …

Cavernous sinuses are paired interconnected venous plexuses situated in the floor of the
middle cranial fossa on either side of the sella turcica and sphenoid sinus. They are lined by …

Intracranial gas is commonly detected on neuroimaging. The recognition of this finding can
at first blush be unsettling. Being able to localize this gas to a specific compartment …

Background: Vascular air embolism is being progressively reported as a nonfatal event with
increase in use of computed tomography (CT) as a diagnostic modality. This study was …

Purpose The aim of this study was to investigate cerebral gas embolism (GE) on
nontraumatic postmortem CT (PMCT), regarding its frequency, location (arterial or venous) …

Objective Small venous air emboli probably occur frequently. Our purpose was to describe
the locations of small venous air emboli detected on CT scans of the head and neck and …

We report a case of massive intracerebral air embolism after cardiopulmonary resuscitation
in a patient with a fatal head injury. There was no pneumothorax or extravascular …

Background. Cerebral venous air entrapment is a rare finding on cranial computed
tomography (CT) scan. Peripheral air embolism is discussed as a potential cause. However …

Arterial air embolism associated with pulmonary barotrauma has been considered a rare but
a well-known complication of mechanical ventilation. A 65-year-old man, who had …

We report four patients in whom gas was seen in the head on CT shortly after
cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The gas was in the posterior cranial fossa, presumably within …
