Several choices: Fractures of bones can cause showers of fatty particles traveling to brain (fat emboli) resulting in multiple, simultaneous small strokes bring on cognitive decline. Sometimes people on the verge of clinical alzheimers (or other dementias) become rapidly symptomatic after such a major trauma absent any direct brain injury. Have neurology consult done.
