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 ...

A diagnosis of FES is often missed because of a subclinical illness or coexisting confusing injuries or disease. Fat embolism syndrome develops most commonly after orthopedic injuries, but it has also been reported after other forms of trauma such as ...

ABSTRACT Since it was initially described, fat embolism syndrome (FES) has remained one of the least clearly understood complications of trauma. This article is a review of the classic and current literature on FES with regard to its causes, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, diagnosis, and treatment.

The fat embolism syndrome is clinically evident in approximately 0.5-2.0% of patients with long bone fractures. The clinical signs and symptoms are evident in 60% of patients within 24 hours and 85% of patients within 48 hours after trauma. A patient is reported who complained of dyspnea and hemoptysis approximately 72 hours after sustaining a fracture

1. A distinction must be made between the fat embolism syndrome, a clinical entity, and fat embolism demonstrated pathologically, which may be found after death following fracture with no prior evidence of the syndrome. 2. One hundred cases of the syndrome encountered over a period of four years have been studied in detail and the diagnostic criteria
