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.

Surgery Today, 2006
Fat embolism syndrome (FES) was first described in 1862, but its frequency today is still unclear. 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 ...

Clinical Nuclear Medicine, 1986
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

Journal of Thoracic Imaging, 1987
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.

Injury, 1997
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 ...

The "shock lung syndrome," whenever associated with trauma, is probably in part the consequence of fat emboli, though aspiration, disseminated intravascular coagulation, microatelectasis, pulmonary edema, and hemorrhage due to other lung insults may be important in the etiology of many cases.

, 2001 Fat embolism in humans was first recognized in 1861 by Zenker (1) who described fat droplets in the lung of a railroad worker who had suffered a fatal thoracoabdominal crush injury. Despite the patient’s multiple fractures, Zenker believed the fat to have originated from the contents of a lacerated stomach.
