ABSTRACT
We present the case of a male patient 21 years of age who, following
embolization with N-2-butyl cyanoacrylate (Histoacryl
®) of an
extracranial (
scalp) left parieto-occipital arteriovenous malformation,
presented sudden respiratory difficulty, documenting microembolism
of centrilobular pulmonary arteries as an immediate complication
associated with the procedure by means of radiological exploration.
The use of this material in different procedures has proved to be safe
and successful; however, mild complications have been reported such
as nausea, vomiting, bleeding, ulcers, and infection. Occasionally, it
may be accidentally deposited in nearby blood vessels, but severe
complications like migration of the material to the pulmonary bloodstream
are fairly uncommon.
