Abstract:
Acute limb compartment syndrome is a condition in which raised pressure within a closed fascial space reduces capillary perfusion below a level necessary for tissue viability. Although it is a rare but potentially disastrous complication of orthopedic injury to the extremities, it may occur spontaneously without a history of trauma, and any insult that tends to increase resistance to flow in the capillary bed in any anatomical situation may result in a compartment syndrome. We report an extremely rare case of compartment syndrome following compression sclerotherapy.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...
