The intersection of cerebral fat embolism syndrome and traumatic brain injury: a literature review and case series.

CONCLUSION: The diagnosis of CFES is an important consideration for individuals who have new neurologic impairment following a trauma, especially in cases where initial GCS was high. MRI has an important role in differentiating lesions of CFES from TBI and should be utilized for prognostication and management decisions. Individuals with neurologic injury secondary to CFES had good functional recovery outcomes as measured by Glasgow Outcome Scale. PMID: 32543235 [PubMed - as supplied by publisher]
