Abstract EN
Cerebral venous air embolism is sometimes caused by head trauma.
One of the paths of air entry is considered a skull fracture.
We report a case of cerebral venous air embolism following head trauma.
The patient was a 55-year-old man who fell and hit his head.
A head computed tomography (CT) scan showed the air in the superior sagittal sinus; however, no skull fractures were detected.
Follow-up CT revealed a fracture line in the right temporal bone.
Cerebral venous air embolism following head trauma might have occult skull fractures even if CT could not show the skull fractures.
