ABSTRACT

Introduction: there are few case reports available that describe compartment syndrome as a complication of Henoch-Schönlein purpura. Case report: we report the case of a 17-year-old patient with bilateral compartment syndrome of the foot as an atypical presentation of Henoch-Schönlein purpura. A case like this has not been reported before. Conclusion: although the patient had an extremely rare clinical presentation, the viability and functionality of the limbs was preserved even after six months of follow-up thanks to an early diagnosis and surgical treatment.
