“…Most cases have a clear aetiology based on the patient's history as with the presented case 1. Khan et al summarised some of the reported cases of atraumatic bilateral compartment syndrome, from 1999 to 2009 (eight case reports), and found that there have been a number relating to limb position, as with the presented case: prolonged kneeling position during spinal surgery,6 horse riding7 and prolonged lipotomy position 8. Other causes include excessive exercise and medical or alcohol-induced bilateral compartment syndrome 1…”

Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threatening condition to be considered when muscular damage is suspected. We present a case of a 39-year-old woman who developed rhabdomyolysis after prolonged circulatory insufficiency to the legs, leading to life-threatening complications including bilateral tibial compartment syndrome, acute kidney failure, hyperkalaemia with cardiac arrhythmia and finally lifesaving bilateral transfemoral amputation. This case emphasises that early diagnosis, removal of triggering factor, early and aggressive fluid therapy and treatment and prevention of complications are essential for the patient's morbidity and mortality.

“…This condition may create a general sub-ischemic pattern and increase their tolerance to acute ischemia. -Apart from increasing operating time, the muscular mass on its own is known to cause ACS, even in the absence of surgery, in athletic subjects after significant muscular effort (Naidu et al, 2009). …”

“…6 Isolated bilateral peroneal compartment syndrome has been described after horse riding. 7 It was suggested that flexion of the hip and knee while horse riding may obstruct the vascular supply to the lower limb. The authors reported that this can, in conjuction with ankle dorsiflexion, lead to a significant increase in peroneal compartment pressure.…”
