Overview
Historical Perspective
Discovery
- In 1861, Zenker first discovered fat embolism (FES), after he found pulmonary capillary fat deposition in a patient who suffered from crush injury.
- In 1873, Bergmann described the first clinical case of FES in a patient who suffered a distal femur fracture.
- In 1875, Czerny explored cerebral symptoms associated with FES.
- In 1924, Gauss proposed the mechanical theory, which explains that three conditions are necessary for the development of fat embolism: injury to adipose tissue, rupture of veins within the zone of injury, and a mechanism that causes the passage of free fat into the open ends of blood vessel.
Landmark Events in the Development of Treatment Strategies
- In [year], [diagnostic test/therapy] was developed by [scientist] to treat/diagnose [disease name].
