    AbstractThe paper outlines a rare clinical case of cavernous angioma of the brain stem in a female who was operated on in the sitting position and who intraoperatively developed 6 episodes of massive venous air embolism in tandem from the transverse sinus defect undetectable by the cervical vein compression test. Why it is difficult to diagnose this complication in this case is considered. Preventive and therapeutical measures are given.
