摘要
Computed tomography (CT)-guided percutaneous core needle biopsy of the lung is a frequently performed interventional radiological procedure. Most complications are minor and self-resolving. However, a rare but potentially fatal complication is that of systemic air embolism, especially when to the cerebral or coronary arteries. This study reports a case of delayed (12 hours after initial biopsy) air embolism in the cerebral arteries that resulted from an otherwise uncomplicated biopsy of a lung nodule. It is vital for early diagnostic confirmation and appropriate treatment if possible, though maximal efforts at prevention are still recommended.
