Core Tip	We present a rare case of suspected paradoxical cerebral air embolism during endoscopic ligation of esophageal varices. Anesthetic management and identification are challenging in patients with air embolism during digestive endoscopic treatment. We summarize and analyze the risk factors, pathogenesis, clinical manifestations, prevention and treatment options of gastrointestinal endoscopy complicated by cerebral air embolism, and propose the application of electroencephalogram monitoring during sedation or anesthesia to detect and identify abnormal brain function in time.
