Cerebrovascular occlusions are critical events regardless of etiology. Air embolism is rare but potentially catastrophic and can occur during both percutaneous procedures and surgeries. Vigilance and knowledge of this potential complication are needed to rapidly provide beneficial treatment. That is, high flow oxygen and correct positioning pending hyperbaric oxygen therapy.
