Acute compartment syndrome occurs when the tissue pressure within a closed muscle compartment exceeds the perfusion pressure and results in muscle and nerve ischemia. It typically occurs subsequent to a traumatic event, most commonly a fracture.
Abdominal compartment syndrome is a potentially lethal condition caused by any event that produces intra-abdominal hypertension. The authors give brief case examples of patients with ACS and discuss its clinical manifestations and management. A 32-year-old woman, P.L., was stabbed in the liver.
