Gluteal compartment syndrome secondary to prolonged immobilization following carbon monoxide poisoning associated with leukoencephalopathy: A case report.
Heliyon 2024 March 16
INTRODUCTION: Gluteal compartment syndrome (GCS) is a rare diagnosis that results mostly from a non-traumatic etiology. We describe a case of a gluteal compartment syndrome, complicated with sciatic nerve palsy.
CASE PRESENTATION: This paper reported a case of gluteal compartment syndrome caused by prolonged immobilization due to carbon monoxide poisoning. The case was complicated with sciatic nerve palsy and a sequala of leukoencephalopathy.
DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSION: This case report highlighted the importance of having a high suspicion for gluteal compartment syndrome in patients with history of lying down with prolonged immobilization. The diagnosis can be made solely on clinical examination and a fasciotomy must be performed with no delay.
