ABSTRACT
Infarcts from cerebral air embolism (CAE) are rare events with potentially catastrophic clinical consequences. The imaging features of CAE are not well defined in the literature. We report a novel constellation of MR imaging findings of cerebral arterial air emboli induced infarcts in a series of 6 patients. Awareness of the more distinguishing MR-imaging patterns of CAE may help establish this diagnosis and facilitate implementation of timely treatment.
ABBREVIATIONS: CAE = cerebral air embolism
