A 46-year-old woman was monitored by bispectral index monitoring (BIS) during redo aortic and mitral valve replacement. On release of the aortic cross clamp there was a sudden, severe, unexplained, and sustained fall in the BIS value. Postoperatively, a CT scan was consistent with multiple ischaemic lesions. The lesions were presumed to be due to air embolism. This case suggests that a sudden unexplained and persistent fall in BIS may indicate cerebral ischaemia.
