Cerebral Air Embolism Causing Cerebrovascular Accident after CT-Guided Needle Lung Biopsy
This case highlights that cerebral air embolism, although rare, can be a severe complication of CT-guided lung biopsy. Prompt recognition and treatment are essential for positive outcomes. As image-guided procedures increase, such cases may become more common, requiring further research.
