Resumen

Los síndromes compartimentales de las extremidades inferiores, son una complicación muy infrecuente de la posición genupectoral en la cirugía de columna lumbar.

Presentamos el caso de un paciente con síndrome compartimental bilateral en ambos miembros inferiores, tras ser intervenido de un schwannoma lumbar en posición de genupectoral.

El sobrepeso y la larga duración del acto quirúrgico podrían ser factores predisponentes para desarrollar esta patología.

El diagnóstico y tratamientos precoces son imprescindibles para evitar déficits neurológicos permanentes y otras posibles complicaciones.

Abstract

Lower limb compartment syndrome is an unusual complication of the genu-pectoral position in lumbar spine surgery.

We report a case of compartment syndrome in a patient who was operated in the genu-pectoral position for lumbar schwannoma resection.

Overweigth and long time surgery could be important predisposing factors.

Early diagnosis and treatment are mandatory to prevent permanent neurological deficits and other possible complications.

Key words:
Compartmental syndrome
Genupectoral position
Lumbar spine surgery
