Résumé
Acute Compartment Syndrome (ACS) is a serious medical condition that often results in high morbidity. ACS more commonly presents after substantial trauma in the extremities where compartment pressures can be measured. Here, we present an unusual case of a healthy man who presented with ACS of the thigh secondary to rupture of the gluteal cyst which was formed after multiple unsupervised testosterone injections. Our goal is to encourage a broad differential diagnosis while keeping limb threatening conditions and emergencies on top in patients complaining of leg pain and also to educate the patient population on safety concerns of unsupervised intramuscular injections.
