BOTERO-BERMUDEZ, M; BRICENO-RODRIGUEZ, L; QUINONEZ-YEPES, T y TABORDA-AITKEN, JC. Compartment syndrome: an atypical presentation as a cause of Henoch-Schönlein purpura. Acta ortop. mex [online]. 2022, vol.36, n.5, pp.324-328. Epub 15-Ene-2024. ISSN 2306-4102. https://doi.org/10.35366/111168.
Introduction:
there are few case reports available that describe compartment syndrome as a complication of Henoch-Schönlein purpura.
Case report:
we report the case of a 17-year-old patient with bilateral compartment syndrome of the foot as an atypical presentation of Henoch-Schönlein purpura. A case like this has not been reported before.
Conclusion:
although the patient had an extremely rare clinical presentation, the viability and functionality of the limbs was preserved even after six months of follow-up thanks to an early diagnosis and surgical treatment.
