Fat embolism syndrome (FES) remains a diagnostic dilemma on a world scale. It has a variable degree of presentation, which makes the diagnostic confirmation hard to obtain. FES is a life-threatening condition which is usually associated with orthopedic trauma, particularly long bones fractures whose early fixation helps in preventing it. It requires supportive care, and no specific treatment is needed. Here, we report the case of a FES in a 20 year-old male patient with right femoral shaft fracture following a motorbike accident, which is diagnosed by Gurd’s criteria and confirmed after exclusion of other diagnosis with similar clinical presentation.

脂肪栓塞综合征，诊断困境：病例报告和文献复习

脂肪栓塞综合征（FES）仍然是世界范围内的诊断难题。它具有可变的呈现度，这使得很难获得诊断确认。FES是一种危及生命的疾病，通常与整形外科创伤有关，尤其是长骨骨折，早期固定有助于预防这种情况。它需要支持治疗，并且不需要特定的治疗。在此，我们报告了一名20岁的男性摩托车事故后右股骨干骨折的FES病例，这是由葛德（Gurd）的标准诊断出来的，并在排除其他具有类似临床表现的诊断后得以证实。
