Delirium tremens in a common feature in the alcoholic population. The Fat Embolism Syndrome (FES) is characterized by fever, encephalopathy, respiratory failure and skin petechiae. Fat embolism has been associated with alcoholics but the diagnosis was apparent only at autopsy. We present an alcoholic male who developed delirium tremens unresponsive to therapy, followed by features of the FES. Asterixis and Korsakoff's psychosis are newly described features of this syndrome. Corticosteroids were a definitive therapy in this case.
震颤谵妄是酒精人群中的常见特征。脂肪栓塞综合征（FES）的特征为发热、脑病、呼吸衰竭和皮肤瘀点。脂肪栓塞与酗酒者有关，但诊断仅在尸检时才明显。我们报告一名男性酗酒者，其出现对治疗无反应的震颤谵妄，随后出现了脂肪栓塞综合征的特征。扑翼样震颤和科萨科夫精神病是该综合征新描述的特征。在本例中，皮质类固醇是一种决定性的治疗方法。
