Gluteal compartment syndrome

Year: 2025

Type: article

Abstract: Gluteal compartment syndrome (GCS) is a rare condition but undiagnosed it can be fatal. Because only a few cases are reported, the condition is not well characterized. This is a case report of a 56-year-old male who developed GCS most likely due to surgery and post-operative immobilization. We would like to increase the attention on GCS with respect to potential risk factors, symptoms and how the condition can be prevented and managed. Time to intervention can be critical and healthcare workers should be aware of the condition in a differential diagnostic context.
