CT SCAN OF INTRACRANIAL AIR EMBOLISM: POST CARDIOPULMONARY RESUSCITATION
Abstract
A case report of intracranial intravascular air detected by CT scan was per- formed. The images obtained immediately after the patient expired post failed cardio- pulmonary resuscitation in an 11-year-old child who had unknown cause of hepatitis.
