Abstract
- Acute compartment syndrome is usually caused by local vascular and traumatic involvement. Thyroid disease is not a common cause of compartment syndrome and only two cases of spontaneous compartment syndrome associated with hypothyroid myopathy have been reported. Diabetic muscular infarction is a rare microvascular complication usually occured in type 1 diabetes patients under pjoor diabetic control and intramuscular volume expansion caused by muscle necrosis and increased tissue fluid can iduce compartment syndrome. We report a case of atypical bilateral anterior tibial compartment syndrome and foot drop in a 51-year-old patient with type 2 diabetes in hypothyroid state.
