Данное осложнение возникло у родильницы на вторые сутки после проведенной операции кесарева сечения вследствие инъекционного введения нестероидного противовоспалительного препарата с целью обезболивания. Клиническая картина характеризовалась появлением болевого синдрома и отека передней поверхности правого бедра (в области инъекции лекарственного препарата). По данным ультразвукового исследования мягких тканей правого бедра в зоне пораженной ткани визуализировалось умеренное утолщение кожи, на глубине 26 мм от поверхности кожи в толще мышцы — участок повышенной эхогенности размером 48 × 5 мм, при этом скопления жидкости, а также полостных образований, в мягких тканях выявлено не было. На фоне антибактериальной, антикоагулянтной терапии и медикаментозной анальгезии отмечена положительная динамика — уменьшение выраженности отека, интенсивности болевого синдрома.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="en"><p>The article presents a clinical case of a rare iatrogenic complication associated with intramuscular or subcutaneous administration of drugs — drug embolism of soft tissues (Nicolaou syndrome). This complication occurred in a woman in labor on the second day after a cesarean section due to the injection of a non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug for pain relief in the postoperative period. The clinical picture was characterized by the appearance of pain syndrome and swelling of the anterior surface of the right thigh (in the area of the drug injection). According to the ultrasound examination of the soft tissues of the right thigh, moderate thickening of the skin was visualized in the area of the aﬀected tissue; at a depth of 26 mm from the skin surface in the thickness of the muscle — an area of high echogenicity measuring 48 × 5 mm; however, fluid accumulations, as well as cavity formations in the soft tissues were not detected. Against the background of antibacterial, anticoagulant therapy and drug analgesia, positive dynamics, a decrease in the severity of edema and intensity of pain syndrome were noted.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>медикаментозная эмболия мягких тканей</kwd><kwd>постинъекционные осложнения</kwd><kwd>ятрогения</kwd><kwd>некроз кожи</kwd><kwd>нестероидные противовоспалительные препараты</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>drug-induced soft tissue embolism</kwd><kwd>post-injection complications</kwd><kwd>iatrogeny</kwd><kwd>skin necrosis</kwd><kwd>nonsteroidal antiinflammatory drugs</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group xml:lang="ru"><funding-statement>Исследование не имело спонсорской поддержки</funding-statement></funding-group><funding-group xml:lang="en"><funding-statement>The study had no sponsorship</funding-statement></funding-group></article-meta></front><back><ref-list><title>References</title><ref id="cit1"><label>1</label><citation-alternatives><mixed-citation xml:lang="ru">Luton K., Garcia C., Poletti E., Koester G.
