Compartment syndrome can be defined as increased tissue pressure within a closed myofascial space, resulting in disturbed microcirculation and the potential for irreversible neuromuscular ischemic damage. It may present either acutely or chronically.

British Journal of Hospital Medicine, 2005
Compartment syndrome occurs when pressure within a closed muscle compartment exceeds the perfusion pressure and results in muscle and nerve ischaemia. Two distinct conditions are recognized: acute and chronic (exertional) compartment syndromes. Differences in aetiology, pathophysiology and management are elaborated on in this article.

Current Orthopaedics, 1989
The compartment syndrome is defined as a condition in which high pressure within a closed fascial space (muscle compartment) reduces capillary blood perfusion below the level necessary for tissue viability'. This condition occurs in acute and chronic (exertional) forms, and may be secondary to a variety of causes.

Journal of Pediatric Orthopaedics, 1983
A prompt diagnosis and decompression of acute compartment syndromes are essential in order to reinstate capillary perfusion and prevent irreversible sequelae. The anatomy, causes, diagnosis, and treatment of the syndrome are considered.

Orthopaedic Nursing, 2004
Compartment syndrome is a possible complication for every patient with a fracture, sprain, or orthopaedic surgery. Complete evaluation of the patient is necessary on a continual basis to determine any deviation from the normal range of the neurovascular parameters.

Hand Clinics, 2018
Acute hand compartment syndrome is a potentially devastating condition a hand surgeon may be called on to evaluate and treat. This pathophysiologic cascade of events that begins with an inciting event progresses to increased intracompartmental pressure, tissue necrosis, and resultant morbidity and potentially mortality.

Injury, 2016
Acute compartment syndrome is a well-known complication of tibial fractures, yet it remains difficult to diagnose and the only effective treatment is surgical fasciotomy. Delayed fasciotomy is the most important factor contributing to poor outcomes, and as a result, treatment is biased towards performing early fasciotomy.

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
Irish Journal of Medical Science, 2006Abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a systemic syndrome involving derangement in cardiovascular haemodynamics, respiratory and renal functions as a result of sustained increase in intra-abdominal pressure (IAP) ending in multi-organ failure. It is a life threatening emergency and requires prompt action and treatment.

The Journal of Hand Surgery, 1992
Two cases of forearm compartment syndrome in neonates are presented. The compartment syndrome may be initiated before actual delivery and may appear in an advanced stage. In both children good clinical results were achieved when standard guidelines for managing compartment syndrome and established Volkmann's contracture were applied. Although uncommon,

Abdominal Compartment Syndrome
Southern Medical Journal, 1998The abdominal compartment syndrome (ACS) is a newly appreciated and potentially fatal consequence of increased intra-abdominal pressure. It can be due to either trauma or surgery, as well as numerous medical conditions. Prolonged, unrelieved elevation of intra-abdominal pressure can produce pulmonary compromise, renal impairment, cardiac failure, shock,
