Cortical 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 ...

Initial reports indicated a uniformly grave prognosis but recent observations suggest a more favourable outcome in certain cases. Two patients with hypereosinophilic syndrome are described whose course of disease and outcome have been completely different.
متن کاملFat Embolism Syndrome
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 vascular occlusion in fat embolism is often temporary or incomplete, as fat globules do not obstruct capillary blood flow completely because of their fluidity and deformability. The late presentation is thought to be a result of hyd...
متن کاملFat Embolism Syndrome
The classical syndrome of fat embolism is characterized by the triad of respiratory failure, neurologic dysfunction and the presence of a petechial rash. Fat embolism syndrome (FES) occurs most commonly following orthopedic trauma, particularly fractures of the pelvis or long bones, however non-traumatic fat embolism has also been known to occur on rare occasions. Because no defi nitive consens...
