Talib, S. H.; Bhattu, S.; Naik, M.; Amjad, S. A.
- Abstract
We describe a case of cerebral fat embolism - which developed 3 days after roadside accident, in a young boy who suffered limb fracture of femur and tibia. In cerebral fat embolism that manifests chiefly as disturbances of cerebral circulation and ischaemia, chest dyspnoea and pulmonary manifestations are strikingly lacking leading to misdiagnosis or delay in its diagnosis. The present case chiefly developed cerebral fat embolism syndrome. Early recognition and comprehensive management is warranted for a better outcome. Aetiopathogenesis, presentation, diagnosis and treatment of cerebral fat embolism is briefly described and discussed.
