Cerebral fat embolism Fat embolism is constituted by the presence of fat globules in the peripheral
A 48-year-old man presented headaches in the last two months, and no neurological de cits.e computed tomography (CT) scan revealed an intraparenchymal hemorrhage localized in right frontal lobe 1 . The magnetic resonance (MR) showed the lesion included middle frontal gyrus, fronto-orbital region and gyrus rectus (Fig 1).Diagnostic cerebral angiography (DCA) demonstrated intracranial dural arteriovenous stulas (DAVF) classi ed as Borden IA [2][3][4][5] , a single stula with venous drainage directly into dural venous sinus or meningeal vein and antegrade ow (Fig 1).e DAVF was occluded after a right frontotemporoparietal craniotomy, and a DCA, one year after the procedure, showed no residual stula (Fig 2).
Cronobacter spp is an opportunistic pathogen that can cause severe neonatal infections, including septicemia, meningitis, and necrotizing enterocolitis. Over 90% of these infections outbreaks are associated with the increased consumption of powdered infant formula (PIF). We report the case of a male neonate born at term with adequate weight for gestational age, fed by breast milk and PIF. He was admitted to the ICU at 22 days old due to fever, irritability, impaired consciousness, and food intolerance. Investigation revealed an extensive abscess in the right frontoparietal region, that was surgically drained. The culture of the purulent material showed the growth of Cronobacter spp. Guided antibiotic was kept for 21 days. The patient presented a good clinical outcome, without neurological deficits. The microbiological powdered formula contamination by Enterobacter sakazakii (Cronobacter spp) can lead to a higher risk of severe infections in infants. Children may present sepsis, sensory alteration, and refractory seizures. An early brain image should be considered for symptomatic infants. The mortality rate ranges from 40 to 80%, and 74% of survivors have an adverse neurological outcome. From 1997–2013, there were reports of 6 outbreaks of E. sakazakii disease in Brazil. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), this disease is undernotified, and active foodborne surveillance systems are less than ideal. To better address this problem, in some countries, the notification is mandatory, and the adoption of stricter sanitary measures by regulatory agencies are proposed.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
