The study aimed to summarize the updated evidence regards, Etiology, Diagnosis and Management of Acute compartment syndrome. Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is a condition in which pressure builds up inside a closed osteofascial compartment, impairing local circulation. Early diagnosis and treatment are credited with the best outcomes following Acute Compartment Syndrome. The severity of compartment syndrome varies from mild to severe. Fasciotomies should be performed very soon if the patient have acute compartment syndrome. The treatment of late compartment syndrome (delayed or missing diagnosis) is more problematic. Long duration of acute compartment syndrome without treatment can cause irreversible damage that’s why early intervention is a must, non-operative measurement is preferred if possible, to prevent any surgical complications, however if surgery is needed it must be performed with Two-incision fasciotomy being the most used method.

Attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, or ADHD, continues to be a complex condition to assess and treat, particularly in young children. Nevertheless, early diagnosis and treatment of ADHD are crucial because early intervention may help attenuate or even prevent certain undesirable effects in the lives of children and their families. This article provides a description of the disorder as manifested by children under five years of age. This is followed by a discussion of diagnostic issues. Finally, an integrated approach to treatment is suggested.

AbstractTwenty-five patients with thirty ears affected by tuberculosis of the middle ear cleft were diagnosed and treated at Groote Schuur Hospital, Cape Town, during the years 1972 to 1983. This series is a sequel to the series of 1967 to 1971 and reported by Sellars and Seid (1973). The classical disease presentation will be reviewed and compared to that found in our patients. The modern trends in diagnosis and management will be discussed. The emphasis is on early diagnosis and treatment in an eminently curable disease.
