Fatal fat embolism in isolated vertebral compression fracture.

Ricardo R Lastra1, Vilas Saldanha, Manjula Balasubramanian, John Handal.   

Abstract

Fat embolism after long bone and pelvic fractures as well as orthopedic interventions is a well-documented phenomenon, but it is highly unusual after isolated vertebral fractures. We report a case of fatal fat embolism in a 78-year-old man after an isolated vertebral compression fracture with no related orthopedic intervention. A high index of suspicion is necessary for early diagnosis and successfully treating this unusual complication.
