Restricted diffusion and poor clinical outcome in cerebral fat embolism syndrome.
Cerebral fat embolism syndrome (CFES) is a neurologic syndrome occurring in up to 60% of patients with fat embolism syndrome (FES). The defining features of FES include respiratory, neurologic and dermatologic features. The classical explanation is release of fat emboli into the circulation after long bone fractures, but the clinical syndrome of FES only occurs in 0.5-3% of cases, typically wit...
متن کاملPulmonary and Cerebral Fat Embolism Syndrome After Total Knee Replacement
Fat embolism occurs after long bone fracture or orthopedic surgery and usually shows mild symptom. But it rarely results in fat embolism syndrome, presenting as multiorgan dysfunction such as lung, brain and skin. Although the diagnosis of fat embolism syndrome is mostly based on clinical features, we experienced fat embolism syndrome involving lung and brain, showing typical imaging findings i...
متن کاملEarly Diagnosis of Cerebral Fat Embolism Syndrome by Diffusion-Weighted MRI
Background—Cerebral fat embolism syndrome is a rare, but potentially lethal, complication of long bone fractures. Neurological symptoms are variable, and the clinical diagnosis is difficult. The purpose of this case study is to demonstrate the value of diffusion-weighted MRI of the brain for early diagnosis of fat embolism syndrome. Case Description—A non–head-injured 18-year-old woman suffered...

متن کاملParadoxical cerebral embolisation. An explanation for fat embolism syndrome.
Fat embolism occurs following fractures of a long bone or arthroplasty. We investigated whether paradoxical embolisation through a venous-to-arterial circulation shunt (v-a) could lead to cerebral embolisation during elective hip or knee arthroplasty. Transcranial Doppler ultrasound (TCD), following the intravenous injection of microbubble contrast, identified the presence of a shunt in 41 pati...
