Abstract

Acute limb compartment syndrome is a condition in which raised pressure within a closed fascial space reduces capillary perfusion below a level necessary for tissue viability. Although it is a rare but potentially disastrous complication of orthopedic injury to the extremities, it may occur spontaneously without a history of trauma, and any insult that tends to increase resistance to flow in the capillary bed in any anatomical situation may result in a compartment syndrome. We report an extremely rare case of compartment syndrome following compression sclerotherapy.
