  • Title: [The influence of gravity on the distribution of fat embolism in the eye (author's transl)].
    Author: Zehetbauer G, Haddad R, Gottlob R.
    Journal: Klin Monbl Augenheilkd; 1978 Feb; 172(2):154-5. PubMed ID: 642373.
    Abstract:
    In human fat embolism we often find different grades of changes in both eyes of a patient. This was experimentally verified in rabbits. The anesthetized animals were held in lateral position so that one eye was continuously higher than the other. Labelled fat was injected intravenously, and then the activity in each eye was measured by a scintillation-counter. By this method a significantly higher rate of fat embolism was found in the upper eye.
