Abstract:
Carbon dioxide embolism is a well-known complication of laparoscopy that can be lethal. We describe a patient who showed signs of pulmonary interstitial edema revealing a probable gas embolism. This event occurred during a gynecologic laparoscopy performed for uterine perforation after a curettage.
