title: The acute atraumatic peroneal compartment syndrome, a rare and therefore sometimes unrecognised entity.
abstract: Two cases of Acute Peroneal Compartment Syndrome, without history of trauma are presented. One case had a history of prolonged horse-riding with the wearing of tight boots, the other case had a history of prolonged walking. An Acute Peroneal Compartment Syndrome should always be considered in the differential diagnosis of pain in the peroneal region of the lower limb.
