Area of Science:

  • Neonatal medicine
  • Pediatric surgery

Background:

  • Forearm compartment syndrome is a rare but serious condition in newborns.
  • It can manifest in advanced stages, potentially originating before delivery.

Observation:

  • Presents two cases of neonatal forearm compartment syndrome.
  • Affected neonates exhibited immobility of an extremity, a key diagnostic sign.

Findings:

  • Standard management guidelines for compartment syndrome and Volkmann's contracture were successfully applied.
  • Both neonate patients achieved favorable clinical results following treatment.

Implications:

  • Compartment syndrome should be included in the differential diagnosis for neonates with unexplained limb immobility.
  • Timely diagnosis and intervention are crucial for optimal outcomes in affected infants.
