title: [Acute compartment syndrome of the lower leg after ankle joint sprain. A case report].
abstract: In the field of traumatology, compartment syndromes of the lower extremity are often seen after fractures and direct injuries, or after ischaemia. Other causes include over-exertion and non-traumatic causes such as acute rhabdomyolysis, drug-induced myositis and eosinophilic myositis. This paper describes the clinical and MR course of a compartment syndrome following an ankle sprain.
