Abstract:
Fat embolism syndrome is a rare disease associated with long bone fractures and plastic surgery. In previous studies of cerebral fat embolism, no reports of cardiac arrest occurred by cerebral fat embolism. Therefore, we aimed to report the first case of cardiac arrest by cerebral fat embolism after scalp lipoma removal.
