초록

대뇌 공기 색전증은 뇌경색의 드문 원인이다. 이러한 대뇌 공기 색전증의 흔한 원인은 심장과 폐에 대한 침습적 시술, 스쿠버 다이빙 중 빠른 해수면 상승에 의한 폐 압력 손상 등이 있다. 하지만 비행기 여행 등의 기압 변화에 의한 대뇌 공기 색전증 발생은 매우 드물며, 현재까지 7개의 증례가 보고 되었다. 이에 저자들은 결핵성 파괴폐 환자에서 비행기 여행 중 발생한 대뇌 공기 색전증을 경험하여, 이에 대한 증례 보고를 하는 바이다.

A cerebral air embolism is a rare cause of stroke, but may occur in patients undergoing invasive cardiac and pulmonary procedures, as well as in divers suffering pulmonary barotrauma from rapid ascent. A cerebral air embolism due to other causes, especially a change of air pressure from air travel, is particularly rare. Here, we report a case of cerebral air embolism during commercial air travel in a patient with an tuberculous-destroyed lung.
