  • Title: [Generalized compartment syndrome after excessive drinking. A rare complication of psychological disorders?].
    Author: Franck WM, Schick CH, Olk A, Hennig FF.
    Journal: Nervenarzt; 2005 Mar; 76(3):327-30. PubMed ID: 15759162.
    Abstract:
    Psychogenic polydipsia can lead to compartment syndromes, which is too infrequently considered in psychiatric patients who binge-drink on hypotonic fluids. If masked by the leading clinical presentation of cerebral edema, compartment syndromes of the extremities may be diagnosed too late or remain undetected. Based on a literature review and case report, we discuss additional factors and the specific features of diagnosis and treatment.
