What Does CAGE Stand For?
CAGE stands for Cerebral Arterial Gas Embolism
CAGE, or Cerebral Arterial Gas Embolism, is a medical condition characterized by the formation of gas bubbles within the cerebral arteries, leading to potential obstruction of blood flow to the brain. This condition can arise from various factors, including decompression sickness, trauma, or invasive medical procedures. Symptoms may include neurological deficits, seizures, and altered consciousness. Prompt diagnosis and management are crucial to mitigate the risk of long-term neurological damage.
