What is seen on this pathology slice? {{c1::Fat embolism}}
Notes
Bone fractures are associated with release of fatty bone marrow into the systemic circulation. Pulmonary circulation may be compromised, and emboli may travel to the brain leading to ball hemorrhages around small vessels. The symptoms described in this patient also fit best with fat embolism rather than diffuse axonal injury which would result in immediate loss of consciousness
