Gluteal compartment syndrome

Georgina Hayden et al. ANZ J Surg. 2006 Jul.

Abstract

Gluteal compartment syndrome is uncommon and is often diagnosed late, resulting in muscle necrosis and sciatic nerve palsy. The mainstay of treatment is prompt diagnosis and early surgery. A high index of suspicion is essential, especially in the setting of major bleeding and excessive pain. Embolization and hyperbaric oxygen may be considered as adjuncts to surgery.
