The risk of central nervous system injury is very high after operation for the following reasons: the brain is at hypoperfusion level for a long time during the process of cardiac surgery under CPB; partial microembolus forms; inflammatory response is hyperactive; and the range of temperature variation is large.6 The incidence of postoperative neurological complications for such patients can reach 2.3-9.6%.7 POCD after cardiac surgery with CPB is considered to be the main manifestation of intraoperative brain damage.

To find out the source of microembolus, the high-resolution MRI (HRMRI) of cervical artery was performed four days later; however, no typical appearance of dissection or atherosclerotic plaque was found [Figure 1]e and [Figure 1]f.

The most acknowledged hypothesis is that VO originates from an infected microembolus in the arterial system which becomes lodged in one of the metaphyseal arteries; this results in infarction and subsequent haematogenous spread of the infection.
