Concomitant fat embolism syndrome and pulmonary embolism in a patient with patent foramen ovale
Öz: We present a rare case of a patient with concurrent fat embolism and pulmonary embolism, in a closed femur fracture withpatent foramen ovale (PFO). A 24-year-old man was involved in a motor vehicle accident with a closed left midshaft femurfracture. He developed fat embolism syndrome (FES) on day 3 of admission, and plating was performed. The D-dimer concentration was also high, which raised the suspicion of pulmonary artery embolism. Computed tomography pulmonary angiography (CTPA) revealed right inferior lobar pulmonary artery embolism and FES. A transthoracic echocardiogram (TEE) wasperformed, which showed a PFO. The presence of a PFO in patients with pulmonary embolism increases the risk of systemicembolism. Therefore, we recommend the routine echocardiogram for patients with pulmonary embolism to exclude any cardiac defect in causing right-to-left shunts, which predisposes the patient to paradoxical embolism.
