Acute stroke from air embolism to the middle cerebral artery following upper gastrointestinal endoscopy

Acute stroke from cerebral-artery air embolism is a very rare occurrence during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Computed tomography is a quick and reliable method of detecting cerebral air embolism if performed within an appropriate timeframe. We found 20 reported cases of air embolism with EGD in...

description Acute stroke from cerebral-artery air embolism is a very rare occurrence during esophagogastroduodenoscopy (EGD). Computed tomography is a quick and reliable method of detecting cerebral air embolism if performed within an appropriate timeframe. We found 20 reported cases of air embolism with EGD in the literature; only seven of those resulted in cerebral air embolus. We report an eighth such case in which the patient suffered cerebral air embolus with neurological signs of a stroke while undergoing upper gastrointestinal endoscopy.
