AbstractThis report describes the definitive diagnosis of cerebral air embolism following accidental disconnection of a subclavian catheter by documentation of cranial CT's. We also discuss critically the pathophysiology of cerebral air embolism and its differentiation from "the bends". The necessity of recognising this entity is important in differential diagnosis. The pathophysiology of air embolism is discussed.
