In-flight Seizures and Fatal Air Embolism Arch Neurol 68:661-664, Arnaiz, J.,et al, 2011 See this aricle in Pubmed Article Abstract We propose minor air embolism as a cause of in-flight seizures. This type of seizure can signify the existence of a giant bronchogenic cyst. We believe that obtaining a chest radiograph can be useful in patients with a history of in-flight seizures to rule out the presence of a bronchogenic cyst and to prevent a possibly fatal air embolism.
