Compartment syndrome has been defined as “a condition in which increased pressure within a limited space compromises the circulation and function of the tissues within that space”.1 It is most commonly seen after injuries to the leg2-5 and forearm6-8 but may also occur in the arm,9 thigh,10 foot,11-13 buttock,14 hand15 and abdomen.16 It typically follows traumatic injury, but may also occur aft...

Chronic exertional compartment syndrome is an often overlooked and uncommon cause of pain in the extremities of individuals who engage in repetitive physical activity. A thorough history, a careful physical examination, and compartment pressure testing are essential to establish the diagnosis. Catheter measurements can provide useful information on baseline resting compartment pressures as well...

BACKGROUND Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a systemic syndrome involving derangement in cardiovascular haemodynamics, respiratory and renal functions as a result of sustained increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) ending in multi-organ failure. It is a life threatening emergency and requires prompt action and treatment. For the last 20 years, there has been more awareness among surg...

Compartment syndrome is characterised by an increase in the interstitial pressure within a closed osseofascial compartment. This may be due to a decrease in compartment volume, an increase in compartment content or external pressures. We report 4 patients who required surgical decompression for gluteal compartment syndrome that developed after joint arthroplasty. Gluteal compartment syndrome is...

The efficiency of train transportation in the port environment directly restricts production entire port. In order to coordinate productivity and further improve loading unloading automation system, this paper proposes a material segmentation data statistics algorithm for problem identification compartment. terrestrial laser scanning system was established under experimental scenario CHN ENERGY...

A compartment syndrome is defined as an increase in the compartmental pressure to such an extent that the viability of the tissues and organs within the compartment are threatened. The term describes a syndrome and not a disease, and as such there are many diseases and underlying pathophysiological processes that may lead to such a scenario. The aim of this review is to give a state-of-the-art ...

Background: Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) after cesarean section (CS) is a rare event which is associated with an increased risk of morbidity and mortality. This complication may arise as a result of musculoskeletal trauma and fluid accumulation. The present report aimed to introduce a case of ACS after the cesarean section. Case report: We present...
