  • Title: An unusual entrance site of venous air embolism during operations in the sitting position.
    Author: Wilkins RH, Albin MS.
    Journal: Surg Neurol; 1977 Feb; 7(2):71-2. PubMed ID: 835076.
    Abstract:
    Embolism of air into the venous system occurs during approximately 25% of neurosurgical operations performed with the patient in the sitting position. The present report calls attention to an unusual entry site for such air embolism-the punctures in the scalp made by a neurosurgical pin-type head holder.
