Abstract

We report a case of cerebral fat embolism which occurred in a 33‐year‐old man after a diaphyseal femoral fracture without cranial traumatism. The initial examination showed an incomplete picture of coma with tetrapyramidal syndrome and cutaneomucous purpura. There was no respiratory damage. We present a magnetic resonance spectroscopy analysis of the cerebral lesions observed in the initial phase of the embolism, as well as follow‐up, which has strengthened the clinical and imaging features for the diagnosis.
