description BACKGROUND: The reported incidence of ulcer formation in the gastric tube in esophageal replacement is rare. CASE PRESENTATION: This is the first report of a case of cerebral air embolism as a result of spontaneous perforation of an ulcer in the constructed gastric tube into the pulmonary vein during post-operative follow-up in a patient with esophageal cancer. CONCLUSIONS: Cerebral air embolism is a rare complication of penetrating gastric ulcer, but should be considered in patients with a history of esophagectomy with gastric conduit that present with acute neurologic findings.
