  • Title: Air embolism through a ventriculoatrial shunt during posterior fossa operation: case report.
    Author: Nehls DG, Carter LP.
    Journal: Neurosurgery; 1985 Jan; 16(1):83-4. PubMed ID: 4038788.
    Abstract:
    An unusual complication of air embolism through a ventriculoatrial shunt occurred in a patient undergoing posterior fossa operation in the sitting position. Because ventriculoatrial shunts are uncommon, this potential complication may not be widely recognized. A case is presented and the clinical aspects are discussed.
