A Case of Compartment Syndrome in the Scrotum and Inguinal Area Complicating Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome of Childhood

Idiopathic nephrotic syndrome (INS) is a kidney disease characterized by massive proteinuria. Protein loss leads to decreased oncotic pressure shifting the fluids into the interstitial space causing edema, complications such as infections and thromboembolism occur. We report a 7-year-old, diagnosed...

Protein loss leads to decreased oncotic pressure shifting the fluids into the interstitial space causing edema, complications such as infections and thromboembolism occur. We report a 7-year-old, diagnosed with NS presenting with a relapse. He developed ascites and scrotal edema followed by severe scrotal pain and redness, progressing rapidly to ecchymosis in the inguinal areas not in continuity with the scrotum. Ultrasound with color Doppler was inconclusive, scrotal exploration was done along with skin incision in the inguinal areas and scrotum, which appeared to relieve the condition rapidly.http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2214442017301596Nephrotic syndromeAcute scrotumScrotal edemaCompartment syndrome
