Abstract
The authors assessed the characteristic appearance of magnetic resonan ce imaging (MRI) of cerebral fat embolism in three patients, The MRI f eatures in the acute stage were characterized by widespread, spotty le sions in the white matter, which appeared hyperintense on T2-weighted images and iso- or hypointense on T1-weighted images. The relation bet ween clinical features and MRT findings are discussed.
