- Abstract
The article discusses the case history of a 40-year old lactating woman who developed fat embolism, a syndrome caused by dissemination of fat particles, after a liposuction procedure. The woman's consciousness deteriorated after liposuction of a large area of her arms and abdomen. The brain CT scan showed a black signal in a deep area within the left Sylvian fissure, which was considered to be representative of a fat droplet.
