چکیده
©Copyright 2017 by Turkish Society of Hematology Turkish Journal of Hematology, Published by Galenos Publishing House Acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is defined as the continuous elevation of interstitial tissue pressure within an osteofascial envelope to nonphysiological levels. It can be reversible if it is recognized early; however, it may progress to permanent disability. Therefore, early recognition and treatment is critical for optimal outcomes [1]. Pain, pallor, paresthesia, paralysis, and pulselessness (the ‘five Ps’) are reliable symptoms of ACS; however, the lack of them may be challenging in immunodeficient patients [2,3].
