When the fat hits the brain—salvage STA–MCA bypass for an intracranial ICA occlusion due to a fat embolus

When the fat hits the brain—salvage STA–MCA bypass for an intracranial ICA occlusion due to a fat embolus

BackgroundLarge fat embolus is a rare but potential reversible cause of ischaemic stroke.Methods and resultsWe describe the neurosurgical management of a complete right internal carotid artery occlusion due to a large fat embolus, caused by a mitral valve replacement.ConclusionKnowledge of acute cer...
