“…A variety of underlying causes of BPE have been reported (Table I). These include abdominal trauma [2,[6][7][8], liver metastases [9], liver abscesses [9,10], cholecystitis [11,12], and a variety of iatrogenic procedures associated with pancreatic, hepatic, and biliary pathology [1,[13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24]. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first case of BPE in a patient with ERCP-treated acute pancreatitis.…”

A 27-year-old woman with jaundice and abdominal pain was admitted to an emergency ward. The diagnostic process showed that gallstones were causing her symptoms. The patient was treated via endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography (ERCP), and during the procedure she suffered a cardiac arrest. Autopsy findings included multiple pulmonary bile emboli as well as features of disseminated intravascular coagulation. Among 22 thus far described cases of bile pulmonary embolism, 13 were associated with medical procedures involving the liver and biliary tract. We present the case report of a pulmonary bile embolism associated with acute pancreatitis treated via ERCP in a woman with gallbladder bile stones.

“…Even more uncommon are other types of pulmonary embolisms, such as cerebral, hepatic, or biliary embolism. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8] We present a case of massive cerebral tissue pulmonary embolization after head trauma in an adult male.…”

We report a case of an adult man who was run over by a car, suffering severe head trauma. After 3 hours in the hospital, he experienced sudden and severe hemodynamic deterioration, dying immediately. The autopsy showed massive cerebral tissue pulmonary embolization (CTPE), confirmed by immunohistochemistry. Multiple fractures of the skull, tear of the transverse sinus, and brain laceration of the occipital lobe were present. CTPE is very infrequent. In children and adults, it occurs as a complication of severe closed or penetrating head trauma. Although laceration of a large cerebral venous sinus is not always essential, in some cases (like in the present one) this laceration is the mechanism of entry of the cerebral tissue to the blood circulation. The clinical repercussion of CTPE is variable. In some cases, it could be an incidental finding of autopsy. In other cases, coagulation abnormalities and disseminated intravascular coagulation have been reported. Finally, such as in the present case, the immediate cause of death is the sudden hemodynamic failure due to the massive CTPE.
