title: Gluteal Compartment Syndrome after Fenestrated Endovascular Aortic Aneurysm Repair.
abstract: We describe a case of gluteal compartment syndrome (GCS) after a 4-vessel fenestrated endovascular abdominal aortic aneurysm repair. The case highlights the need for a high index of suspicion for GCS as a differential diagnosis for spinal cord ischemia in patients developing perioperative lower limb neurologic deficit after extensive abdominal aortic stent-graft coverage.
