Compartment syndrome affecting the upper extremities is a relatively underreported event compared with compartment syndrome affecting the lower extremities. Moreover, insidious onset forearm compartment syndrome has been rarely reported and is usually limited to single case reports. We report a compartment syndrome of the forearm in a teenager. She hit her right proximal forearm lightly on the cash register, but there was no pain. However, the next day, she had difficulty in moving her right hand. Although she underwent electrotherapy, her right forearm gradually became swollen, and she felt numbness in the ring and little fingers of her right hand. Six day after the onset, she came to our hospital and underwent fasciotomy. There was no aftereffect, and very good functional recovery was obtained. All clinicians need to keep the case of forearm compartment syndrome in a young individual with a diffuse course, such as in this case in mind.

Type Of Injury

A 16-year-old man sustained a minor penetrating injury to his forearm, resulting in pseudoaneurysm formation that caused acute compartment syndrome with muscle contracture. Surgical treatment, including fasciotomy, evacuation of the hematoma and aneurysmectomy, followed by intensive hand therapy provided a successful outcome. Traumatic pseudoaneurysm after penetrating injury is a rare cause of acute forearm compartment syndrome. Although minor penetrating injuries tend to be underestimated, this type of injury can cause subsequent serious pathological conditions.

Limb compartment syndrome may be sequelae of trauma, but in the context of critical care blood sampling, arterial damage may have profound consequences. We describe a series of three cases and their progress and discuss guidelines for prevention of this potentially devastating occurrence in critically ill patients.

Mean Time

This study documents our experience with acute forearm compartment syndrome after percutaneous transradial coronary artery intervention and suggests several strategies to achieve good results. A retrospective review identified the medical records of four patients with acute forearm compartment syndrome after transradial intervention who were treated by urgent fasciotomy. The mean time from the onset of symptoms to operation was 5.7 hours. In three cases bleeding was from radial artery rupture at the puncture site, and one case was caused by brachial artery rupture at the level of the distal humerus and radial artery rupture at the level of proximal forearm. We obtained satisfactory results without any complications. If acute forearm compartment syndrome after transradial intervention is diagnosed, the site of bleeding should be identified preoperatively. Early surgical decompression produced satisfactory results even in elderly patients. Level of evidence: IV
