While compartment syndrome after traumatic injury is a well-recognized entity, atraumatic or exercise-induced acute compartment syndrome is not as widely reported. This syndrome, usually unilateral, was first described as "march gangrene" in 1943, and can result in the loss of life or limb. Bilateral cases are usually associated with an underlying medical condition. We wish to report a case of acute, bilateral, exercise-induced anterolateral leg compartment syndrome in a healthy young man. Early recognition and prompt treatment by decompressive fasciotomy is of vital importance if limb function is to be preserved and complications are to be avoided.
虽然创伤后骨筋膜室综合征是一种广为人知的病症,但非创伤性或运动诱发的急性骨筋膜室综合征的报道并不多见。该综合征通常为单侧,1943年首次被描述为“行军性坏疽”,可导致生命或肢体丧失。双侧病例通常与潜在的内科疾病有关。我们希望报告一例健康年轻男性发生的急性、双侧、运动诱发的小腿前外侧骨筋膜室综合征。若要保留肢体功能并避免并发症,早期识别并通过减压筋膜切开术及时治疗至关重要。
