Venous air embolism after blunt thoracic trauma without additional pathology

Air embolism is a rarely encountered but potentially life-threatening medical emergency and may occur as a result of many underlying reasons, such as trauma, surgery, catheterization, iatrogenic, and misapplication. Iatrogenic causes should be kept in mind, particularly if no other pathology is detected to explain the radiological findings in the patient after invasive procedures. In this case report, we present a 28-year-old male patient with a venous air embolism after a blunt trauma without an additional pathology and the diagnosis, treatment, and follow-up period.
