  • Title: Lateralized infarction in cerebral air embolism due to patient positioning.
    Author: Galion A, Do AH, Chang GY.
    Journal: J Clin Neurosci; 2010 Jul; 17(7):943-4. PubMed ID: 20395143.
    Abstract:
    Two patients are presented with cerebral air embolism. Neurological examination and neuroradiologic studies suggested predominant right hemispheric ischemia. Intestinal mucosal trauma allowed air introduction into the systemic vascular system and left-decubitus positioning of the patients resulted in predominant right-sided brain lesions.
