Gluteal compartment syndrome following abdominal aortic aneurysm repair: a case report.
Compartment syndromes occur when the elevated tissue pressure within a confined limb's myofascial compartment exceeds capillary pressure, with subsequent neurovascular compromise. In order to reduce disability and the consequences of ensuring ischemia, it is essential for early recognition and intervention. This is more commonly recognized in the calf. We report an unusual case of gluteal compartment syndrome after abdominal aortic aneurysm (AAA) repair.
