  • pseudoerysipelas resulting from acute anterior tibial Compartment Syndrome
    Journal of The American Academy of Dermatology, 1996
    Co-Authors: A Petit, Michele Sigal, Rastine Merat, Eve Pepin, Jeanclaude Couffinhal
    Abstract:

    Acute anterior tibial Compartment Syndrome usually occurs in young persons after unaccustomed exertion. 1 A chronic form is common in athletes. 2 Pain in the anterior aspect of the leg is a cardinal feature. The pain is exacerbated by flexion of the foot and toes that stretches the muscles in the anterior Compartment. Decreased sensation over the first interdigital space and the dorsum of the foot indicates impairment of the deep peroneal nerve in the anterior Compartment of the leg. Dusky redness of the skin overlying the Compartment is occasionally present.Z, 3 We report a case of acute anterior tibial Compartment Syndrome with cutaneous manifestations initially rnisdiagnosed as erysipelas.

  • Compartment Syndrome associated with distal radial fracture and ipsilateral elbow injury
    Journal of Bone and Joint Surgery American Volume, 2009
    Co-Authors: Raymond Hwang, Pieter Bas De Witte, David Ring
    Abstract:

    Background: Forearm Compartment Syndrome is an uncommon sequela of distal radial fractures. This investigation tested the hypothesis that the risk of forearm Compartment Syndrome associated with an unstable, operatively treated fracture of the distal end of the radius is higher with a concomitant injury of the ipsilateral elbow. Methods: All patients who sustained an unstable fracture of the distal end of the radius and/or injury to the elbow (a fracture of the proximal end of the radius and/or ulna, simple elbow dislocation, elbow fracture-dislocation, or distal humeral fracture) and were operatively treated at two level-I trauma centers over a five-year period were identified from a comprehensive database. The prevalence of Compartment Syndrome in a cohort with an isolated distal radial fracture and a cohort with a simultaneous distal radial fracture and elbow injury were compared. Results: Nine (15%) of fifty-nine patients who sustained a simultaneous ipsilateral distal radial fracture and elbow injury had forearm Compartment Syndrome develop compared with three (0.3%) of 869 patients with an isolated unstable distal radial fracture (p < 0.001, relative risk = 50). The average time from presentation to the development of Compartment Syndrome and subsequent fasciotomy was twenty-seven hours. Three of the nine patients with injuries to both the elbow and the wrist had a Compartment Syndrome develop after initial operative treatment of the injuries, requiring a return to the operating room for fasciotomy. Conclusions: Forearm Compartment Syndrome is a frequent complication of simultaneous unstable injuries to the elbow and the distal end of the radius. Heightened vigilance for Compartment Syndrome is paramount in patients with this combination of injuries. Level of Evidence: Prognostic Level II. See Instructions to Authors for a complete description of levels of evidence.

  • management of abdominal Compartment Syndrome during extracorporeal life support
    Pediatric Critical Care Medicine, 2007
    Co-Authors: Regina Okhuysencawley, Parthak Prodhan, Michiaki Imamura, Heather A Dedman, K J S Anand
    Abstract:

    Objective: To describe the successful use of a peritoneal dialysis catheter for emergent decompression of abdominal Compartment Syndrome during extracorporeal life support for septic shock. Design: Case report. Setting: Pediatric intensive care unit at a freestanding tertiary children's hospital. Patient: Two-year-old toddler with influenza A complicated by methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus pneumonia and septic shock. Interventions: Placement of peritoneal dialysis catheter. Measurements and Main Results: Changes in hemodynamic and respiratory parameters. Improvement in extracorporeal membrane oxygenation venous drainage with subsequent survival. Conclusions: Although the standard therapy for abdominal Compartment Syndrome is decompressive laparotomy, a minimally invasive percutaneous approach may be effective and should be considered in selected patients.
