Introduction <\/strong>
Compartment syndrome is a well-known phenomenon that is most commonly reported in the extremities. However, paralumbar compartment syndrome is rarely described in available literature. The authors present a case of paralumbar compartment syndrome after high intensity deadlifting.
Methods: The patient is a 53-year-old male who was diagnosed with paralumbar compartment syndrome one day after performing high intensity deadlifting and subsequently treated urgently with fasciotomies. The patient\u2019s medical records were thoroughly reviewed at the presenting institution. A complete review of the current literature regarding \u2018paralumbar\u2019 or \u2018paraspinal\u2019 compartment syndrome was also performed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Results<\/strong>
The patient\u2019s paralumbar compartment syndrome was treated in two stages. The first stage included bilateral paramedian fasciotomies with debridement, tissue expander, and wound vac application. The second stage included additional debridement with wound closure. The patient followed up twice within four weeks after wound closure. Post-operatively, the patient\u2019s pain improved significantly, and he was able to return to all activities of daily living. Despite a small seroma which was aspirated in the office per the patient\u2019s request, the patient\u2019s post-operative course was uncomplicated. To date, the patient has had no need to follow up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Discussion\/Conclusion <\/strong>
Given the paucity of literature on paralumbar compartment syndrome, the authors\u2019 goal is to promote awareness of the diagnosis, as it should be included in the differential diagnosis of intractable back pain. The current literature suggests that operative cases of paralumbar compartment syndromes have a higher rate of return to pre-operative function compared to those treated non-operatively. This case report further supports this notion. The authors recommend further study into this phenomenon, as it could be a missed diagnosis with detrimental outcomes for patients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
