“…Bu nedenle bu olgularda acilen fasyotomi yapılarak üç kompartmanın da açılması gerekmektedir.

ÖZGluteal kompartman sendromu sıklıkla tanısındaki gecikme nedeni ile ciddi sekellere, sepsis, böbrek yetmezliği hatta ölüme neden olabilen, oldukça nadir görülen bir sendromdur. İskemiye bağlı komplikasyonların önlenebilmesi açısından erken tanı konulması önemlidir. Bu yazıda lateral dekübit pozisyonunda insizyonel herni ve nefrektomi cerrahisi sonrası gluteal kompartman sendromu gelişen 56 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunuldu. Fasyotomi sonrası gelişen gluteal kas yetersizliği ile Trendelenburg yürüyüşü iki yıl içerisinde düzeldi.Anahtar sözcükler: Gluteal kompartman sendromu; nefrektomi; böbrek yetmezliği. ABSTRACTGluteal compartment syndrome is a rather rare syndrome often leading to severe sequelae, sepsis, renal failure, and even death due to delayed diagnosis. Establishing early diagnosis is essential to prevent complications associated with ischemia. In this article, we report a 56-year-old male patient who developed gluteal compartment syndrome after incisional hernia and nephrectomy surgery in lateral decubitus position. Gluteal muscle insufficiency developing after fasciotomy and Trendelenburg gait improved within two years.

“…The first contains the gluteus maximus, the second the gluteus medius and minimus, and the third the tensor fascia lata [4]. While no major neurovascular structures course through the compartments themselves, an acute rise in pressure may cause damage by compressing the sciatic nerve where it courses between the gluteus maximus and the external rotator complex of the pelvis [5]. A common theme in the clinical histories of the reported cases is prolonged immobilization following drug abuse [6].…”

Abstract-We present the case of a 24 yr old male who was diagnosed with gluteal compartment syndrome and was subsequently found to have developed lumbosacral radiculoplexopathy and complex regional pain syndrome. The patient's gluteal compartment syndrome was diagnosed within 24 h of presentation to the emergency room, and he underwent emergent compartment release. While recovering postoperatively, persistent weakness was noted in the right lower limb. Results of electrodiagnostic testing were consistent with a lumbosacral radiculoplexopathy. After admission to inpatient rehabilitation, the patient complained of pain, burning sensation, and numbness in the distal right lower limb. Based on clinical findings, he was diagnosed with complex regional pain syndrome type II, or causalgia, and was referred for a lumbar sympathetic block under fluoroscopic guidance. Sympathetic block resulted in relief of the patient's symptoms. He was discharged home with good pain control on oral medications.

“…The gluteal region has been described as being made up of three compartments, each separated by their individual surrounding nondistensible boundaries: gluteus maximus, gluteus medius-minimus and tensor fascia lata compartments. However, it is the gluteal fascia and aponeurosis anchored to the ilium, sacrum, coccyx, and iliotibial tract that confine these compartments to their nonexpansible spaces [8].…”

Acute Gluteal and Thigh Compartment Syndrome following Pelvic Fracture and Superior Gluteal Artery Bleed

Injury to the superior gluteal artery as a result of pelvic fracture is well recognized. Superior gluteal artery bleed leading to gluteal compartment syndrome without fracture of the pelvis has been reported but is extremely rare. Similarly, acute compartment syndrome of the thigh is rare. As far as is known, no previous case has been reported where a combination of pelvic fracture and superior gluteal artery bleed has led to acute gluteal and thigh compartment syndrome. We report on such a patient who developed these complications and highlight the importance of early detection, which may be difficult in an unconscious or comatose patient.
