title: Ocular fat embolism syndrome.
abstract: Ocular fat embolism syndrome in the complete absence of any cardiac defects is a rare phenomenon which is not commonly encountered in ophthalmic practice. We present a case of a 16-year-old girl with fat embolism syndrome and involvement of the retina after a tibial fracture without any cardiac defect.
