ABSTRACT

The compartment syndrome (CS) consists in an elevation of the intracompartmental preassure that impairs tissue perfusion. The intracompartmental preassure is elevated by conditions that either produce external compression on the compartment or increase compartment volume, being trauma the most common cause and the inferior leg compartment the most frequent site. The diagnosis is commonly made on the basis of the clinical history, examination findings and measurements of compartment preassures, althought this is not required. Early diagnosis and fasciotomy are known to be the best determinants of good outcomes.
