Spontaneous compartment syndrome of all limbs: A case report

Abstract: Compartment syndrome is a serious condition that results from increased pressure in a closed muscle compartment segment, which affects tissue perfusion and leads to necrosis. It can be acute because of fracture and crush injury or chronic due to recurrent transient increases in the intra-compartmental pressure that occurs during exertional activities. Rhabdomyolysis is a rare cause of compartment syndrome; clinicians should be aware of different atypical presentations of compartment syndrome and should have a … Show more

“…Multiple causes of this condition have been reported in the literature with trauma being the most common cause. However, multiple metabolic conditions such as diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, leukemia infiltration, nephrotic syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, use of anticoagulation and drug abuse resulting in prolonged immobilization, have been associated with the development of compartment syndrome [ [4] , [5] , [6] , [7] , [8] , [9] ].…”

“…Compartment syndrome is a surgical emergency with multiple traumatic and nontraumatic causes [1]. There have been reports of uncommon multiple conditions leading to acute compartment syndrome outside the scope of trauma such as diabetes mellitus, hypothyroidism, leukemia infiltration, nephrotic syndrome, rhabdomyolysis, and the use of anticoagulation [2‒5]. The relation between tibia shaft fracture and compartment syndrome has been well established in the literature, and the gold standard treatment of such a fracture is intramedullary nail fixation with surgical decompression of the leg compartments [6, 7].…”
