Atraumatic compartment syndrome of the forearm is a rare entity. There are several papers available in the literature on the adverse effects of mehndi application; however Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS) following mehndi application has never been reported. We present the case of a 25-year-old female, who presented with sudden onset swelling and pain in the left forearm. The patient had applied mehndi all over her left palm and forearm just two days prior to presentation. The patient had stretch pain and other clinical features suggestive of compartment syndrome of forearm and was hence taken up for an emergency fasciotomy. The fasciotomy wound healed without skin grafting and the patient achieved near normal range of movement of the affected elbow, wrist and fingers.
前臂无创伤性骨筋膜室综合征是一种罕见的病症。文献中有几篇关于涂擦凤仙花染料不良影响的论文；然而，从未有过涂擦凤仙花染料后发生急性骨筋膜室综合征（ACS）的报道。我们报告一例25岁女性病例，该患者因左前臂突然肿胀和疼痛前来就诊。患者在就诊前两天在左手掌和前臂上都涂了凤仙花染料。患者有拉伸痛及其他提示前臂骨筋膜室综合征的临床特征，因此接受了急诊筋膜切开术。筋膜切开术伤口未进行植皮而愈合，患者受影响的肘部、腕部和手指的活动范围接近正常。
