Syndrome Report

Le syndrome de loge sur positionnement prolongé en lithotomie ou en hémilithitomie, est une complication rare en chirurgie. Les dommages neurovasculaires sont souvent permanents. On reporte deux cas d'ostéosynthèse du fémur en position d'hemilithotomie, compliqués d'un syndrome de loge de la jambe controlatérale. Une revue de la littérature sur les 40 cas décrits, jusqu'à ce jour, nous démontre que cette complication est fortement liée au positionnement du patient et à la durée opératoire. Compte tenu du pronostic fonctionnel incertain, une limitation du temps de positionnement en lithotomie doit être recherchée. La surveillance postopératoire doit être rigoureuse et sans hésitation quant à une fasciotomie éventuelle sur simple examen clinique ou après la mesure de la pression dans les loges. Une technique de positionnement sur la table orthopédique est proposée.

Proximal Forearm

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 Anaesthesia

A case of compartment syndrome after haematoma block for a fracture of the distal radius is reported. This seems to be the first report of this complication. A review of the literature revealed seven other cases of compartmental ischaemia reported after fracture of the distal radius, and a haematoma block was used in all the cases where the type of anaesthesia was known. It is suggested that the additional fluid added for a haematoma block can precipitate a compartment syndrome, which may be more common than the scarcity of cases reported would indicate.
