Abstract：
Cerebral fat embolism (CFE) syndrome is a known complication that can occur following polytrauma, particularly in cases involving fractures of long bones, but cardiac arrest is a rare presentation following cerebral fat embolization.1 Our patient met with a road traffic accident (RTA), sustaining multiple long bones injuries with hypovolemic shock. After 10 hours of admission and achieving hemodynamic stability, the patient developed cerebral fat embolization. He developed sudden cardiac arrest and was resuscitated. We instituted ventilator support, inotropic infusion, antibiotics, and intravenous (IV) fluids. Our patient regained consciousness without neurological deficit over a period of 10 days and underwent surgery for all three major fractures with due precautions. The patient was discharged after 3 weeks of treatment from the hospital. How to cite this article: Rathod N, Rathod V, Parikh B, et al.

摘要：
脑脂肪栓塞（CFE）综合征是一种已知的并发症，可在多发性创伤后发生，特别是在涉及长骨骨折的情况下，但心脏骤停是脑脂肪栓塞后的罕见表现。1我们的患者遇到了道路交通事故（RTA），持续多个长骨损伤与低血容量性休克。入院10小时后达到血流动力学稳定，患者出现脑脂肪栓塞。他出现了心脏骤停并被复苏。我们建立了呼吸机支持，正性肌力输注,抗生素,和静脉（IV）液体。我们的患者在10天内恢复了意识，没有神经功能缺损，并在采取适当预防措施的情况下接受了所有三种主要骨折的手术。患者治疗3周后出院。如何引用这篇文章：RathodN,RathodV,ParikhB,etal.多发性外伤后脑脂肪栓塞导致心脏骤停的患者的罕见表现。JAssoc印度医师2023；71（11）：89-93。
