Abstract
A 20-year-old patient came to the sport medicine clinic for bilateral forefoot pain during sport activities (running) progressing for the last 3 months. Thanks to a positive measurement of the compartment pressure during a running test reproducing the symptomatology and exclusion of classical differential diagnosis, a bilateral chronic compartment syndrome of the lateral forefoot was confirmed. Three months after a surgical fasciotomy, the patient fully recovered. No previous study described this specific compartment of the forefoot. Level of evidence: IV.
