Compressive neuropathy following intermittent pneumatic compression device: A case report
Background
Compression neuropathy is a relatively common neurological condition that affects many individuals. Common etiologies include tight clothing, trauma, overuse, and obesity; however, iatrogenic causes such as improper positioning during surgical procedures are not commonly reported.
Case report
We present a case of a 57-year-old female who presented to the emergency department (ED) with posterior left calf and foot sensory loss with gait instability. She recently underwent surgery, during which she recalled having a tight and uncomfortable intermittent pneumatic compression device placed on her left calf. Her workup was largely unremarkable and supported the diagnosis of peripheral nerve compression, most likely of tibial origin.
Why should an emergency physician be aware of this?
Peripheral neuropathies are common causes of ED presentations and have a wide variety of etiologies. One less common factor that emergency physicians should consider is recent surgery during which an intermittent pneumatic compression device (IPCD) was used.
