ABSTRACT
There are three compartments of the forearm by fascia volar, dorsal and lateral. Compartment syndrome of the forearm, which commonly develops in the volar deep compartment, can be induced by various causes. We experienced a case of acute dorsal compartment syndrome of the forearm in a patient with rhabdomyolysis. Because of severe pain and progressive palsy of the posterior interosseous nerve, fasciotomy and release of posterior interosseous nerve were performed. Acute compartment syndrome localized at the dorsal compartment of the forearm is very rare, and compartment syndrome of the forearm in a patient with rhabdomyolysis has not been reported previously. We report the case with review of literatures.
