Article Abstract
We present a rare case of acute anterior compartment syndrome of the thigh in a rugby player with no history of trauma during the game. Decompressive fasciotomy with subsequent closure of the wound resulted in good outcome. Acute compartment syndrome of the thigh should be suspected following vigorous exercise and fasciotomy is to be performed on urgent basis.

Reporting of electrothermal ring burns in the literature is infrequent and comprise of a minimal amount of burn consults with no existing standardized approach to treatment and management. They are, however, a potentially serious burn as they have a propensity to be circumferential given the circular nature of rings, increasing the risk of compartment syndrome which may result in irreversible neurovascular damage and potential digit amputation if not treated in a timely manner, despite the very small total body surface area of the burn. This case report has demonstrated the success of digital escharotomy in the management of electro thermal ring injuries.

Introduction: Snakebites, recognized as a neglected tropical disease by the WHO, cause significant morbidity and mortality globally. Although antivenom is the primary treatment, managing complications like compartment syndrome (CS) and soft tissue necrosis remains challenging. This case report describes a 39-year-old woman who developed CS following a green pit viper bite and subsequent antivenom administration, necessitating a fasciotomy.

Hip arthroscopy has become an increasingly common and effective surgical technique for the diagnosis and treatment of various intra-articular hip disorders. While generally considered safe and minimally invasive, the procedure is not without risks. The increasing volume and complexity of hip arthroscopies has led to a rise in reported complications, highlighting the importance of understanding potential adverse events and their management.

Background: Autoimmune nodopathy (AN) is caused by autoantibodies targeting the nodes of Ranvier or paranodes. AN frequently affects cranial nerves and spinal nerve roots and may accompany central demyelination, all of which belong to the intrathecal compartment. We aimed to ascertain the frequency of intrathecal antibody synthesis and blood-CSF barrier (BCSFB) dysfunction in AN and their clinical correlates.
