We detail a rare cause of forearm compartment syndrome that occurred in an 18-year-old patient who presented with a Glasgow Coma Scale of 13/15 after a mixed drug overdose and subsequently required intubation. She suffered extravasation of her propofol infusion, which resulted in intrinsic compression within her forearm muscle compartments. Fortunately, the diagnosis of compartment syndrome was made swiftly and the patient was taken to theatre within 3 h where she underwent an emergency forearm fasciotomy. She made an uneventful recovery and at follow-up her wounds had healed well with no associated morbidity or loss of function. The learning points of this study highlight the importance of thoroughly understanding the signs and symptoms of compartment syndrome while maintaining a high index of suspicion. In addition to a thorough history and examination, consideration of the potential underlying causes allows for a swifter diagnosis and a quicker transition to theatre.

“…2 The site of injection may become erythematous and edematous. Most contrast media extravasation have no long-term sequelae; however, skin ulceration, softtissue necrosis and compartment syndrome are known to have occurred 2,3,6 The incidences of complications are unclear given the rarity of contrast extravasations. In one study, a single case of compartment syndrome was reported among 442 patients in which follow-up information was available.…”

ÖzExtravasation of contrast media that is given from peripheral intravenous access is a known complication of imaging studies. Most of the cases are due to extravasation of small volumes of contrast media and symptoms like swelling, erythema and pain regress rapidly and uneventfully. But extravastion of large volumes of contrast media can result in compartment syndrome and skin necrosis. In this study, a case who had forearm compartment syndrome and skin necrosis at the dorsum of the hand due to extravasation of contrast media that was given via the peripheral intravenous access is presented.
