1. 1. Fat embolism can be demonstrated pathologically in about 50 per cent of fatal injuries, especially in closed fractures of the tibia and femur. In about 25 per cent of these cases it is a contributing cause of death. 2. 2. Clinically, fat embolism is not common but the diagnosis can be established on the basis of characteristic signs and ...

Patients with the fat embolism syndrome are reported to have a severe course, with mortality as high as 15 percent. Recent studies have attributed improved prognosis to one or another treatment modality. We reviewed the 54 patients with clinical evidence of the posttraumatic fat embolism syndrome documented at the Foothills Hospital from 1968 to 1977 ...

The clinical fat embolism syndrome consisting of progressive pulmonary insufficiency, cerebral disfunction, and petechiae is rare. Following severe skeletal trauma, fat droplets appear in the circulating blood and embolize the capillaries of the lungs and other organs.

The classical fat embolism syndrome comprises the symptoms of petechial rash, pulmonary distress and mental disturbances with an onset 24-48 h following a pelvic or long-bone fracture. Although the first description of the fat embolization process is ascribed to Zenker’ in an article published in 1862, he only mentioned the presence of fat in the lung ...

Despite the patient’s multiple fractures, Zenker believed the fat to have originated from the contents of a lacerated stomach.
