Abstract
The purpose of this study was to assess the prevalence of compartment syndrome or major bleeding episodes and compare compartment syndrome, patient and intervention characteristics in 110 patients with stroke (treated with Warfarin, new oral anticoagulants, antiplatelet, or no anticoagulants) treated for spasticity in deep leg compartment muscles with botulinum toxin injections [onabotulinumtoxinA (n = 77); incobotulinumtoxinA (n = 33)]. We reviewed 674 injection cycles (range 1–25 cycles per patient) and found no cases of compartment syndrome in any patient groups.
