  • Title: [Thoracic injury and fat embolism].
    Author: Kónya L, Juhász I.
    Journal: Magy Traumatol Orthop Helyreallito Seb; 1977; 20(2):119-21. PubMed ID: 17782.
    Abstract:
    The authors state that fat embolism occurs rather frequently following thoracic injuries. It is difficult to make a diagnosis because of the complexity of the symptoms. The correct evaluation of the characteristic clinical and laboratory signs arising after a period free of symptoms is essential. The authors outline the brief case history of a successfully treated patient, who recovered, owing to the use of the respirator in the intensive care unit.
