Unexpected good outcome in severe cerebral fat embolism syndrome

Abstract

In this case study, we report the longitudinal and multimodal follow-up of acatastrophic initial presentation of cerebral fat embolism syndrome. We showthat despite the initial severity, the cognitive outcome was ultimately very goodbut with a highly nonlinear time-course and prolonged loss of consciousness(more than 2 months). Repeated clinical assessments and brain-imaging tech-niques (electroencephalography, event-related potential, 18 -Fluoro-Deoxy-Glucose-PET and magnetic resonance imaging) allowed us to monitor andanticipate this dynamic, providing relevant information to guide decision mak-ing in front of withdrawal of life-sustaining therapy discussions. This case illus-trates the value of multimodal functional imaging in devastating brain injuries
