This article provides a commentary on a case report that examines the mechanisms of fat embolism syndrome (FES) in atraumatic compartment syndrome. It discusses the different types of fat embolism, such as pulmonary and systemic, and explains the mechanical and biochemical theories of fat embolism pathogenesis. The authors highlight the importance of recognizing fat embolism as a cause of death in forensic pathology. Additionally, the article includes citations for two related articles that provide further information on post-traumatic fat embolism, which can be accessed through the Wiley Online Library.

This document is a commentary on a case report about an isolated injury to the caudate lobe of the liver due to cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR). The authors agree with the original report but provide additional insights. They discuss the amount of blood loss and the mechanism of injury, suggesting that external compression during CPR may have caused the liver laceration. They also mention the possibility of underlying hemorrhagic diathesis in cases of liver cirrhosis. The authors emphasize the importance of a well-performed autopsy for accurate findings. The work was supported by the Science Fund of the Republic of Serbia and the Ministry of Education, Science, and Technological Development. [Extracted from the article]
