Case Study 186: Lumbar Compartment Syndrome

A rare but serious cause of acute low back pain — Lumbar Paraspinal Compartment Syndrome. Often seen after intense exercise or trauma, this condition involves increased pressure within the paraspinal muscle compartment, leading to ischemia, severe pain, and potential muscle necrosis.

📍Clinical Clue: Severe, unrelenting back pain out of proportion to exam, elevated CK, and possible radicular symptoms.
📍Imaging: MRI may show muscle edema; CT can reveal muscle swelling or asymmetry.
📍Diagnosis: Confirmed by elevated intracompartmental pressure.
📍Treatment: Fasciotomy may be required to prevent permanent damage.

🎓Don’t miss this rare diagnosis — time is muscle.
