Description

Gluteal compartment syndrome (GCS) is a rare and easily-missed diagnosis that can cause significant morbidity and mortality.

It is an important diagnosis to consider in the ED for “found down” patients, prompting thorough physical examination. It should also be in the differential diagnosis of causes of rhabdomyolysis.

Awareness of this largely clinical diagnosis is critical, as early intervention with emergent fasciotomy leads to better outcomes.
