title: [Acute compartment syndrome of the tibia--complication of popliteal artery aneurysm].
abstract: The compartment syndrome is a common complication in the traumatology of the lower limb. In vascular surgery it is observed following emergency revascularisation. It is a rare condition as an initial symptom of a peripheral clotted aneurysm. By means of a case with a complicated popliteal aneurysm the differential diagnosis of the non-traumatologic compartment syndrome is discussed.
