Abstract
Four cases of gluteal compartment syndrome are presented, 1 traumatic and 3 after an overdose of sedatives. Associated lesions included sciatic nerve palsy in 2 cases and acute renal failure in 1. Three cases with intramuscular pressure exceeding 60 mmHg underwent emergency fasciotomy. Intramuscular pressure monitoring is useful for evaluating the effect of fasciotomy.Entities:
