Compartment syndrome: More medical reporting of atraumatic compartment syndrome has taken place. This phenomenon has basis on the ability of muscle and soft tissues to expand and swell beyond their maximal internal volume exceeding the capacity of connective tissue to bind them. The result is strangulation and eventual baronecrosis of the compressed fascial compartment. The condition leads to fatal myoglobinuria.
