Abstract
Air embolism to the brain occurred several days after insertion of an intraaortic balloon pump. CT demonstrated diffuse hemispheric edema along with two small collections of air in the cerebral hemispheres. Early diagnosis of air embolism to the brain allows early institution of proper therapy in this life-threatening condition.
