Abstract

Stroke is an important cause of morbidity and mortality. The etiologies are varied. Gas embolism is a known complication of invasive procedures, which may complicate with cerebral embolization and ischemia. Benefits of hyperbaric oxygen therapy are recognized in cerebral gas embolism when started in the first hours after the event, which are fundamental for the vital prognosis.
