Abstract
We report two cases of posttrauma cerebral fat embolism evaluated with MRI. Due to sensitivity, MRI is the best examination for detecting fo cal abnormalities of the grey or white matter. MRI helps to make the d iagnosis in atypical cases and allows assessment of both extension and course of the embolism.
