Abstract:
Although compartment syndrome (CS) can occur in any myofascial compartment, the thigh and buttock are among the least common. CS is characterized by an increase in pressure of a myofascial compartment that results in a reduction of capillary blood flow and myonecrosis. Although >75% of cases of CS occur after long bone fractures, acute CS can also occur from nontraumatic and vascular etiologies. We report a case of gluteal and thigh CS resulting from ischemia-reperfusion injury after abdominal aortic aneurysm repair and left common iliac artery bypass.
