Compartment syndromes of the interosseous muscles in the hand are difficult to diagnose because of their atypical presentation, and are often not recognised, especially when the syndrome presents as a chronic affliction. Such a syndrome affecting the first dorsal interosseous muscle in a dominant hand, and undiagnosed for nearly eight years, is described. Simple fasciotomy proved to be the only definitive treatment necessary.
