Cerebral Fat Embolism

Pathological anatomy of adipose tissue 1

“…In contrast to the great tolerance of the kidneys to embolic fat (Warren, 1946), cerebral fat embolism is usually fatal (Cammermeyer, (528); Swank & Dugger 1954; (Schmidt, (3171)). However, recovery of patients with suggestive cerebral manifestations has been recorded (Winkelman, (3998); James, 1950; Broom, 1961). As a rule, the cerebrospinal fluid is normal and there is no increase in intracranial pressure (Winkelman, (3998)).…”

Signs and symptoms of cerebral fat embolism may develop in the absence of preceding pulmonary manifestations (Swank & Dugger, 1954).…”
