Fat embolism syndrome (FES) is a clinical manifestation of systemic symptoms of microcirculating fat embolism that may present with respiratory, hematological, neurological and skin symptoms. It usually occurs after long bone fractures and after 24-72 hours. FES is a rare clinical condition with an incidence of 0.5% and 3.5% after long bone fracture, 5-10% after pelvic fracture or multiple long bone fractures. Patients may experience fever, severe respiratory distress, change in consciousness, generalized petechiae, and multiorgan insufficiency. Biochemical changes may be useful in diagnosis, but the diagnosis is usually based on clinical findings. The case presented here is a case of fat embolism syndrome, which was detected in the etiology of fever after pat pat accident.
