Ultrasonographic detection of air in the superior sagittal sinus in a neonate with transposition of the great arteries

Cerebral venous air embolism is a relatively rare condition that arises from iatrogenic or traumatic introduction of air into the venous system. We describe the ultrasonographic findings in a 1-day-old infant with iatrogenic retrograde cerebral venous air embolism, which to our knowledge, is the ear...
