Abstract
A 27–year-old male presented to the Emergency Department after suffering a rattlesnake bite with envenomation to his left lower leg. After admission to the medical-surgical floor, his pain and swelling increased and a surgical consult was obtained. The diagnosis of acute compartment syndrome was made based on the clinical presentation of the patient and he was taken to the operating room for an emergency fasciotomy. This article describes the evidence-based management of a patient with compartment syndrome as a result of rattlesnake envenomation.
