Abstract
We report the case of a 60-year-old-woman with a myeloma who was hospitalized with a cholestasis. An endoscopic retrograde cholangiopancreatography was scheduled under general anaesthesia with oral intubation. As the biliary prothesis was placed an air embolism happened. The symptomatic treatment allowed a complete recovery. This complication is rare. The pathophysiology is not well known, we discuss the possible mechanisms.
