Efficacy of Corticosteroids in Prevention of Fat Embolism Syndrome in Patients with Long Bone Fracture
Fat embolism syndrome refers to a constellation of symptoms secondary to the presence of fat globules in the lung parenchyma and/or peripheral blood circulation. The syndrome is most often seen in association with long bone or pelvic fractures and can cause significant morbidity and mortality. The present randomized double blind placebo-controlled trial was conducted to evaluate the efficacy of...
متن کاملCortical Blindness In Fat Embolism Syndrome Following Fracture Manipulative Procedure
Fat embolism syndrome is a well-recognised sequela of long bone trauma as well as intramedullary orthopaedic procedures. However, it has rarely been described following manipulation, reduction of fracture, and application of external fixator. Furthermore, bilateral ocular blindness is seldom the first manifestation; instead respiratory and other cerebral symptoms being most common. We describe ...
متن کاملAcute Peptic Ulceration and Cerebral Fat Embolism after Fracture
The relationship between acute intracerebral lesions and oesophago-gastro-duodenal ulceration has long been recognised, first by Rokitansky (1849), later by Pomorski (1891) and L#{233}pine(1895), and in more recent years by Opper and Zimmerman (1938), Strassmann (1947), Globus and Ralston (1951), Schlumberger (1951) and Dalgaard (1960).

The initial symptoms are probably caused by mechanical occlusion of multiple blood vessels with fat globules that are too large to pass through the capillaries.

The late presentation is thought to be a result of hyd...
