Introduction: Isolated cerebral fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a rare complication that occurs within the first 3 days of the initial insult. We report a case of multiple long bone fractures with isolated cerebral FES, despite undergoing early total care with definitive fixation.
Case Presentation: A 22-year-old female presented with type IIIA open femur shaft fracture on the right side (AO 32B2), closed femur shaft fracture (AO 32B2), comminuted patella fracture on the left side (AO 34C3), and undisplaced mandible fracture.
