Abstract
We report a case of compartment syndrome with marked rhabdomyolysis in the immediate postoperative period following major vascular surgery. Early and aggressive treatment, based on intravenous fluids, sodium bicarbonate, mannitol and fasciotomy, resulted in satisfactory management of the patient and prevented the onset of severe complications, such as acute renal failure in a patient who presented several factors that predisposed him to this disorder.
