RESUMEN

La embolia grasa describe la presencia de grasa en la circulación sanguínea, asociado o no al desarrollo de un síndrome clínico identificable por sus signos y síntomas. Puede ser secundaria a traumatismos, cirugía ortopédica, causas no traumáticas y al uso de sustancias y procedimientos con fines estéticos. Presentamos el caso clínico de una mujer que desarrolló el síndrome de embolia grasa después de la inyección de una sustancia oleosa en ambos glúteos, con fines estéticos. Hubo manifestaciones clínicas del aparato respiratorio, del sistema nervioso central y hematológicos. El diagnóstico fue establecido por los criterios clínicos de Gurd y Lindeque. La paciente presentó el síndrome de dificultad respiratoria del adulto por lo que requirió de ventilación mecánica. La evolución fue hacia la mejoría, y egresó del hospital con recuperación completa de sus funciones, que ha mantenido durante un año.
