Summary

What Researchers Did

Researchers described a case of cerebral air embolism following left ventriculography in a 68-year-old patient.

What They Found

They observed numerous air bubbles on cineangiography in a 68-year-old patient who developed upper left limb motor and sensory deficits after contrast injection for left ventriculography. Immediate hyperbaric oxygen therapy led to the complete resolution of all neurological symptoms in this patient.

Canadian Relevance
