AB  - The  first  cases  of  vascular  air  embolism  (VAE)  in  both  pediatric  and  adult  patients  were  first  reported  as  early  as  the  nineteenth  century.  Vascular  air  embolism  is  the  entrainment  of  air  (or  delivered  gas)  from  the  operative  field  or  environment  into  the  venous  or  arterial  vasculature,  producing  systemic  effects.  Many  cases  are  subclinical  and  go  unreported.  Historically,  VAE  is  most  often  associated  with  sitting  position  craniotomies  (posterior  fossa)  but  we  should  also  be  suspicious  of  VAE  during  procedures  where  gas  may  be  entrained  under  pressure,  both  within  the  peritoneal  cavity  or  vascular  access.
