Plain X-ray showed a fracture in the left distal femur without dislocation (Figure 1).
Brain magnetic resonance imaging. Diffusion-weighted imaging showing disseminated, hyperintense dot-like lesions in the brain, demonstrating the "starfield" pattern.

Brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) was performed approximately 3 h after the presentation to our hospital (approximately 5 h after the injury), and diffusion-weighted imaging (DWI) revealed disseminated, hyperintense dot-like lesions in the brain, exhibiting the "starfield" pattern (Figure 2).

Petechiae developed on the palpebral conjunctiva on the second day after injury (Figure 3) and an electroencephalograph (EEG) revealed a wide range of low voltage, and obvious epileptiform discharges were not found.
Follow-up brain magnetic resonance imaging. Diffusion-weighted imaging showing the exacerbation of disseminated, hyperintense dot-like lesions in the brain.
