| description | Cerebral air embolism combined with cardiomyopathy secondary to pulmonary barotrauma
is rare. Here, we report an unusual case of cerebral air embolism combined with
transient cardiomyopathy secondary to large bulla rupture during a pulmonary function
test after lung cancer surgery. The patient experienced loss of consciousness. Computed
tomography and magnetic resonance imaging suggested a cerebral air embolism. Electrocardiography
showed ST-segment elevation and abnormally high plasma levels of cardiac
enzymes. Echocardiography and coronary angiography suggested cardiomyopathy. The
patient was discharged with no sequelae. |
