Abstract

This is the case of a young pregnant black woman who died during foreplay when her male partner with his hands accidentally forced air from her vaginal cavity into her uterine cavity, causing air embolization in the veins on the surface of her heart and her brain. Her premature infant was removed by cesarean section by emergency-room personnel after she died. The infant survived for 12 days before being declared brain dead.

Abstract

A case of fatal air embolism caused by pneumatosis cystoides intestinalis is presented. To our knowledge, there has been no previous report of fatal air embolism associated with this disease. The underlying pathology was not known premortem and the finding of air both in the mesenteric venous bed and in the right side of the heart is consistent with a collateralizing phenomenon due to portal vein obstruction.
