摘要：
Case: A 74-year-old woman underwent computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy of a small lung mass. Immediately after the procedure, she lost consciousness. After resuscitation, her brain computed tomography scan confirmed a cerebral air embolism. Outcome: As hyperbaric oxygenation was unavailable, she received controlled normothermia for neuroprotection. No cerebral symptoms were observed following treatment. Conclusion: Air embolisms are rare, but fatal, complications of computed tomography-guided transthoracic needle biopsy. Therefore, clinicians should be familiar with early diagnosis and prompt treatment. Preventing hyperthermia might be effective for treating hypoxic brain injury caused by cerebral air embolisms.
