Abstract:
We describe the clinical, ophthalmoscopic, angiographic, and perimetric findings of fat embolism occurring in one patient with diaphysare femoral fracture. Fundus examination disclosed a bilateral cotton-wool spot retinopathy. Fluorescein angiography showed a masking effect of the cotton-wool spots. Visual field testing did not show scotoma in damaged areas of the retina.
