Cerebral Fat Embolism in the Absence of Intracardiac Shunting

Journal of Clinical and Medical Images, Case Reports, 2022
Cerebral fat embolism (CFE) is a rare phenomenon in paediatric settings and is usually seen post-trauma in patients with pre-existing intracardiac shunting. We present a rare case of CFE in the absence of cardiac anomaly.

MRI findings in cerebral fat embolism

European Radiology, 1998
The purpose of this retrospective study was to demonstrate the MRI features of cerebral manifestations in patients with fat embolism syndromes in comparison with cerebral CT (CCT). Magnetic resonance imaging was performed according to standard protocols revealing multiple small non-confluent hyperintense intracerebral lesions larger than 2 mm on proton-

Residual lesions of cerebral fat embolism

Journal of Neurology, 1977
Necropsy findings of a case which survived for three months after massive cerebral fat embolism are presented. The lesions are characterized by numerous patchy necroses and areas of demyelination in the white matter of cerebral and cerebellar hemispheres and brain stem, accompanied by atrophy of white matter and ventricular enlargement.

Cognitive Outcome of Cerebral Fat Embolism

Journal of Stroke and Cerebrovascular Diseases, 2012
Cerebral fat embolism is an uncommon but serious complication of long-bone fracture. We report a young adult patient who sustained fat embolism after a femoral fracture. He developed stupor and coma within 24 hours from his injury. His acute recovery was characterized by marked frontal dysfunction. A comprehensive neuropsychological evaluation 4 months

Cerebral arterial fat embolism in the rabbit

Journal of the Neurological Sciences, 1995
This study was designed to measure the effects of cerebral arterial fat embolism on cerebral blood flow and function. Rabbits were injected via the left internal carotid artery with the neutral triglyceride triolein. Left cerebral blood flow was measured by laser Doppler flowmetry, and left sided brain function by electrocorticogram and cortical ...

Cerebral oedema and the fat embolism syndrome

Intensive Care Medicine, 1987
A 19-year-old woman who sustained multiple trauma, but no head injury, developed the fat embolism syndrome. Her severe, fulminant and reversible neurological deterioration was associated with cerebral oedema. We suggest that cerebral oedema may contribute to the neurological deterioration in the fat embolism syndrome.

MR Imaging Patterns of Cerebral Fat Embolism in Sickle Cell Disease: A Pictorial Review

Neurographics
Cerebral fat embolism (CFE) is a rare and often under-recognized complication of sickle cell disease (SCD) associated with high morbidity and mortality. The pathogenesis of fat embolism syndrome (FES) in SCD is not yet fully understood.

Early presentation of cerebral fat embolism

Trauma, 2017
Cerebral fat embolism syndrome has been identified in patients with long bone trauma, and usually occurs after a symptom free interval of 12 h. Treatment includes supportive care, and outcome is variable. We describe a case with earlier than expected presentation with good outcome despite poor initial prognostic signs.
