Chronic compartment syndrome affecting the lower limb: MIBI perfusion imaging as an alternative to pressure monitoring: two case reports.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Intracompartmental pressure monitoring remains the primary method of diagnosing chronic compartment syndrome. MIBI perfusion imaging is widely available and offers a radionuclear imaging technique for diagnosing this condition. Although the results are not identical with those from pressure monitoring, MIBI may offer a useful screening test for this condition.

Intracompartmental pressure monitoring remains the primary method of diagnosing chronic compartment syndrome. MIBI perfusion imaging is widely available and oVers a radionuclear imaging technique for diagnosing this condition.

متن کاملTwo-day stress-rest lower limbs perfusion scan in patients referred for myocardial perfusion imaging
Introduction: Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a major cause of morbidity and is associated with Coronary Artery Disease (CAD). We aimed to perform Lower Limb Perfusion Scan (LLPS) in patients referred for Myocardial Perfusion Imaging (MPI) and estimate prevalence of PVD in subgroups with normal and abnormal MPI results. We also compared quantitative indices of LLPS in pati...
متن کاملThe relationship between intracompartment pressure with symptoms of compartment syndrome and the level of creatine phosphokinase in limb trauma
Background: Acute compartment syndrome is considered a debilitating complication of limb trauma. Early detection of this compartment syndrome helps us in the early initiation of treatment which will result in preventing its subsequent complications reported in these cases. Methods: This research was an analytical cross-sectional study. Patients with direct trauma to extremities, who were refer...
متن کاملChronic Exertional Compartment Syndrome of the Forearm in an Elite Rower
We report a case of chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) affecting the volar forearm compartment of an elite rower. CECS of the forearm is a less well recognised entity than lower limb CECS. We describe a typical history and detail a potential treatment.
متن کاملEvaluating the Effect of Injected Dose of 99mTc- MIBI on the Quantitative Parameters of Myocardial Perfusion Imaging
Background: 99mTc-MIBI cardiac perfusion scanning is recognized as a clinically useful method in evaluating coronary artery disease. By the implementation of new imaging techniques and systems, it seems possible to obtain high-quality images with a lower dose of radiopharmaceuticals. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of injection dose of 99mTc-MIBI on quantitative parameters ...
