Lower extremity sarcoma mimicking acute compartment syndrome
Compartment syndrome is defined as an increase in interstitial fluid pressure within an osseofascial compartment leading to microcirculatory compromise and myoneural necrosis. Common causes include trauma, reperfusion injury, compressive casts, crush injuries and burns. Other rare causes of compartm...

Compartment syndrome is defined as an increase in interstitial fluid pressure within an osseofascial compartment leading to microcirculatory compromise and myoneural necrosis. Common causes include trauma, reperfusion injury, compressive casts, crush injuries and burns.

We present a patient who presented with clinically convincing symptoms and signs of a compartment syndrome in the leg secondary to a high-grade sarcoma in the calf musculature with a coexisting large ruptured Baker's cyst. |
