Abstract
Fat embolism syndrome (FES) has been long recognized as the manifestation of fat embolism, with clinical symptoms that include petechial rash, pulmonary comprise, neurological impairment, and hematological changes. The diagnosis of FES is largely clinically based with other nonspecific laboratory and imaging tools. Prophylactic treatment with early fracture stabilization may decrease the incidence and severity of FES. Supportive management is still the mainstay of management because there is no silver bullet in reversing the course of pulmonary and systemic manifestation of fat embolic events.
