چکیده
|
Pulmonary embolism is the obstruction of the pulmonary artery or its branches,commonly by thrombus or fat. we report an unusual case of double pathology - both pulmonary thromboembolism and fat embolism syndrome in a patient with bilateral femur and bilateral tibia fractures. this highlights the importance of a high index of suspicion of these conditions while managing patients with multiple long bone fractures. morbidity and mortality can be significantly reduced with prompt and appropriate prevention strategies. © 2017,journal of university malaya medical centre. all rights reserved.
