Abstract
Compartment syndrome is a medical condition with high rates of morbidity if not diagnosed and treated on time. Compartment syndrome usually occurs following a trauma, but, nontraumatic conditions also exist which can lead to compartment syndrome. In this case report, we will discuss the diagnosis and treatment of gluteal compartment syndrome following intramuscular injection, along with review of literature.
