  • Title: [Muscular compartment leg syndrome].
    Author: Merlen JF, Coget J, Sarteel AM.
    Journal: Phlebologie; 1979; 32(2):139-43. PubMed ID: 482362.
    Abstract:
    Certain forms of claudication are due to excess tissue pressure of the muscles of the aponeurotic chambers of the leg. These have been well described by Reneman, especially in their chronic form and for the anterior and lateral chambers. The claudication is due to an overworking of the muscles caused by walking, running or effort. It has its own characteristics, with direct measurement of the tissue pressure and phlebography aiding the diagnosis and attention being drawn by the presence of a "muscular hernia of the leg". Fasciotomy is the corrective treatment for cases of hyperalgia and beginning with a certain gradient of muscle pressure. The pathogenic reasons for this are discussed.
