  • Title: Acute atraumatic compartment syndrome in the leg.
    Author: Cara JA, Narváez A, Bertrand ML, Guerado E.
    Journal: Int Orthop; 1999; 23(1):61-2. PubMed ID: 10192022.
    Abstract:
    The compartment syndrome is well recognised as occurring after trauma, but atraumatic acute compartment syndrome is less widely known. We report 3 cases in whom an acute compartment syndrome developed without major injury. Early diagnosis and prompt treatment by decompressive fasciotomy is of vital importance if limb function is to be preserved and complications avoided.  Le syndrome de loge est facilement reconnu après un traumatisme à la différence d’un syndrome de loge aigu atraumatique. Nous rapportons 3 cas d’un tel syndrome développé sans traumatisme important. Un diagnostic précoce et un traitement rapide par fasciotomie décompressive est d’importance capitale pour préserver la fonction du membre inférieur et éviter les complications.
