  • Title: Autoerythrocyte sensitization (Gardner-Diamond) syndrome mimicking compartment syndrome.
    Author: Karatosun V, Satoğlu S, Günal I, Alptekin K.
    Journal: Arch Orthop Trauma Surg; 2003 Sep; 123(7):370-1. PubMed ID: 12838436.
    Abstract:
    We report a case with an unusual manifestation of autoerythrocyte sensitization syndrome (Gardner-Diamond syndrome). The patient had the clinical signs of compartment syndrome of the forearm requiring fasciotomy. Dermatological signs identical to Gardner-Diamond syndrome should alert the physician to avoid unnecessary fasciotomy, as these patients respond well to psychiatric treatment as in the present case.
