[Acute intracompartmental pressure syndrome in the foot of children and the young].
Acute intracompartmental pressure syndrome is a surgical emergency situation. The syndrome is rare and is most commonly associated with a high-energy trauma. It may occur also without trauma, for instance in muscular overloading. The syndrome should be suspected, when a child suffers from acute foot pain. The treatment is immediate compartment release surgery. A delay can be critical, because complications may remain persistent.
