Lateral Compartment Syndrome. A compartment syndrome occurs when the muscles swell too big for the surrounding sheath and can be acute or chronic. The lateral compartment of the lower leg is made up of the peroneus brevis and peroneus longus muscles, either of which can be the cause of a compartment syndrome. Compartments syndromes are either acute or chronic. An acute compartment syndrome is one that comes on suddenly and a chronic compartment syndrome has usually come on gradually over time.
