Abstract
Systemic air embolism (SAE) frequently has a fatal outcome, actually for 80% in blunt trauma and 48% in penetrating ones. Several diagnosis tools can detect intracardiac and cerebral air, but should not be necessary to confirm SAE. Our observation underlines that computed-tomography is an interesting and sensitive exam enough, and can be performed also in post-mortem in case of unexplained fatal outcome of chest trauma.
