Abstract

Acute respiratory distress is a clinico-biological syndrome in which acute hypoxemia is the main symptom. Various etiologies may be responsible. The SARS-COV-2 infection represents the first cause to be suspected because of the current pandemic context. However, several differential diagnoses may remain undetected. We present the case of a young patient admitted for a leg fracture complicated by a fat embolism syndrome after surgery with clinical and radiological manifestations mimicking a covid 19 infection.
