| Abstrakt: | Multisystem inflammatory syndrome in children (MIS-C) is a rare progressive inflammatory process temporally associated with exposure to SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in patients 20 years of age and younger. At this time, much of MIS-C is not well understood, including the pathogenesis, long-term implications, and how each variant of the COVID-19 virus affects the progression and severity. We present the unusual case of a 19-year-old man with a history of homozygous sickle cell disease who developed a vaso-occlusive pain crisis and cerebral fat embolism syndrome as a complication of MIS-C secondary to the Omicron variant of COVID-19. Competing Interests: The authors report no funding or conflicts of interest. The patient and family have consented to the publication of this case.
