Abstract

Three examples of intravascular air caused by massive head trauma are presented. The basic types of air embolism are discussed and the pathophysiology in the three cases is offered. The association should be recognized to avoid misinterpretation of the radiographs.

Keywords:
pathology and biology, embolisms, injuries, air embolisms, pulmonary embolisms, skull trauma, postmortem radiography
