Cerebral fat emboli syndrome: do not miss the transcranial Doppler findings.
To cite: Saleh M, Juan E. BMJ Case Rep Published online: [please include Day Month Year] doi:10.1136/ bcr-2015-210445 DESCRIPTION Isolated cerebral fat emboli syndrome with subtle clinical signs not fulfilling Gurd’s criteria and diagnosed by MRI and CT changes have been previously described. We describe middle cerebral artery Doppler findings (figure 1) in a case of cerebral fat embolism follo...
متن کاملTranscranial doppler detection of fat emboli.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The fat embolism syndrome (FES) is characterized by the simultaneous occurrence of pulmonary and neurological symptoms as well as skin and mucosal petechiae in the setting of long-bone fractures or their surgical repair. Its pathophysiology is poorly understood, and effective treatments are lacking. We present 5 patients with long-bone fractures in whom in vivo microembol...
متن کاملTranscranial Doppler Detection of Circulating Cerebral Emboli
Background: The identification of gaseous emboli using Doppler ultrasound was described as early as the 1960s. Recently it has been demonstrated that this method can also detect solid emboli such as thrombi and platelet aggregates. This may make this technology useful in a large number of patients with, or at risk of, embolic stroke. Summary of Review: Emboli appear as short-duration, high-inte...
