Case series reports distinctive MR imaging patterns of cerebral air embolism infarcts in six patients, highlighting features that enable prompt diagnosis and timely intervention.
ABSTRACT Infarcts from cerebral air embolism (CAE) are rare events with potentially catastrophic clinical consequences. The imaging features of CAE are not well defined in the literature. We report a novel constellation of MR imaging findings of cerebral arterial air emboli induced infarcts in a series of 6 patients. Awareness of the more distinguishing MR-imaging patterns of CAE may help establish this diagnosis and facilitate implementation of timely treatment. ABBREVIATIONS: CAE = cerebral air embolism
