Compartment syndrome of the lower limb: a rare complication of carbon monoxide poisoning
Carbon monoxide poisoning (CO) nicknamed “Silent killer” remains the leading cause of poisoning deaths in most countries. In Tunisia, an estimated number of 2000 to 4000 cases of poisoning was noted per a year with an estimated percentage of death up to 90% at the site of intoxication. This intoxication is very exceptionally complicated by a compartment syndrome that can aggravate the functional and vital prognosis when it is dominated by other symptoms, particularly neurological ones. We report the case of a patient who presented a compartment syndrome during CO intoxication that evolved favorably.
