Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
We report four patients in whom gas was seen in the head on CT shortly after cardiopulmonary resuscitation. The gas was in the posterior cranial fossa, presumably within veins, or in the cavernous sinus. The cause of the cardiac arrest was myocardial infarction in three patients and hanging in one. All had peripheral or central venous lines. The mechanism by which gas appeared in the intracranial veins is discussed. |
