본 저자들은 괴사성 근막염 환자에서 간농양이 발생한 사례가 있어 보고하고자 한다. 5일 동안 지속되는 우측 대퇴부의 통증을 동반한 부종, 발열, 오한을 주소로 51세 남자 환자가 본원에 내원하였다. 내원 당시 시행한 MRI 검사 상 우측 대퇴부의 후내측과 후외측 부분에 공기 방울로 보이는 다량의 어두운 음영과 액체 군집이 있어 괴사성 근막염으로 추정 진단하였다. 입원 당시 시행한 복부 초음파 검사 상 양측 신장의 실질 에코는 증가하였지만 간 내 농양은 보이지 않았다. 근막절개 10일 후에 시행한 복부 컴퓨터 단층촬영 검사 상 간 내 농양이 보여, 초음파 검사를 통한 경피적 배액술을 시행하였다. 우측 대퇴부와 간농양에서 배약된 농 검체 모두 폐렴 간균이 배양되었다. 환자는 몇 차례 근막 절개술을 시행 받았고 비경구항생제로 치료한 결과 점차 호전이 되기 시작했다. 치료 시작 5주 후 간농양의 크기는 감소하였고, 10주 후 간농양은 사라졌다. 우리가 아는 한 폐렴 간균 괴사성 근막염에서 간농양이 발생한 첫 사례이기에 보고하는 바이다.

Background An anatomical analysis of the transverse carpal ligament (TCL) and the surrounding structures might help in identifying effective measures to minimize complications. Here, we present a surgical technique based on an anatomical study that was successfully applied in clinical settings. Methods Using 13 hands from 8 formalin-fixed cadavers, we measured the TCL length and thickness, correlation between the distal wrist crease and the proximal end of the TCL, and distance between the distal end of the TCL and the palmar arch; the TCL cross sections and the thickest parts were also examined. Clinically, fasciotomy was performed on the relevant parts of 15 hands from 13 patients by making a minimally invasive incision on the distal wrist crease. Postoperatively, a two-point discrimination check was conducted in which the sensations of the first, second, and third fingertips and the palmar cutaneous branch injuries were monitored (average duration, 7 months). Results In the 13 cadaveric hands, the distal wrist crease and the proximal end of the TCL were placed in the same location. The average length of the TCL and the distance from the distal TCL to the superficial palmar arch were $35.30{\pm}2.59mm$ and $9.50{\pm}2.13mm$, respectively. The thickest part of the TCL was a region 25 mm distal to the distal wrist crease (average thickness, $4.00{\pm}0.57mm$). The 13 surgeries performed in the clinical settings yielded satisfactory results. Conclusions This peri-TCL anatomical study confirmed the safety of fasciotomy with a minimally invasive incision of the distal wrist crease. The clinical application of the technique indicated that the minimally invasive incision of the distal wrist crease was efficacious in the treatment of the carpal tunnel syndrome.

급성 구획 증후군은 정형외과적 응급 질환이며, 구획 내의 압력이 증가하여 비가역적인 조직의 괴사를 유발한다. 이것은 기능적 장애, 하지의 손실 및 심할 경우 신 기능 저하를 유발하여 사망까지 이를 수 있다. 환자가 초기에 통증과 종창을 호소하는 경우 심부 정맥 혈전증과 유사하여 두 질환 간의 감별이 매우 중요하다고 알려져 있다. 저자들은 마사지 후 좌측 하퇴부의 통증과 종창을 보이는 환자를 심부 정맥 혈전증으로 오인하였고 항응고제를 투여하여 발생한 급성 구획 증후군에 근막 절개술을 시행하였고 만족스러운 치료 결과를 얻었으며, 문헌 고찰과 함께 본 증례를 보고하고자 한다.

Occurrence of pseudoaneurysm in the foot and ankle is rare, and is usually caused by traumatic injury or by iatrogenic intervention. Iatrogenic pseudoaneurysms in the foot and ankle have been observed after rearfoot and ankle fusions, ankle arthroscopy, endoscopic and open plantar fasciotomy, tibial osteotomy with limb lengthening, midfoot amputation, and Lapidus procedure. We report on a patient who developed a pseudoaneurysm of the dorsal metatarsal artery following correction of hallux valgus. The patient underwent proximal chevron osteotomy and Akin phalangeal osteotomy. The feeding artery was ligated and the pseudoaneurysm was excised.

Purpose: To review the outcomes of surgical treatment for superficial peroneal nerve entrapment. Materials and Methods: Ultrasonogram was used for diagnosis and surgical treatment. Seven superficial peroneal nerve entrapment were surgically treated with follow up of average 16 months (range, 6~29 months). Three patients were male and four patients were female with mean age 36.7 years (range, 19~51 years). Four cases developed after repetitive ankle sprain and three cases had no etiology. Results: Operation was performed mini-open and subcutaneous fasciotomy under local anesthesia. The results were excellent in two cases, good in four cases, fair in one case. Conclusion: Ultrasonogram was useful for diagnosis and surgical treatment of superficial peroneal nerve entrapment syndrome.

Superficial peroneal nerve entrapment is an uncommon compression neuropathy, and is frequently associated with a fascial defect and a muscle hernia. The standard treatment of that was the nerve decompression by complete or limited fasciotomy. But, we experienced a case of superficial peroneal nerve entrapment had satisfactory surgical outcome by fascial repair of peroneus muscle.

We present a case study of necrotizing fasciitis (NF), a very rare but dangerous complication of chest tube management. A 69-year-old man with shortness of breath underwent thoracostomy for chest tube placement and drainage with antibiotic treatment, followed by a computed tomography scan. He was diagnosed with thoracic empyema. Initially, a non-cardiovascular and thoracic surgeon managed the drainage, but the management was inappropriate. The patient developed NF at the tube site on the chest wall, requiring emergency fasciotomy and extensive surgical debridement. He was discharged without any complications after successful control of NF. A thoracic surgeon can perform both tube thoracostomy and tube management directly to avoid complications, as delayed drainage might result in severe complications.

A 12-year-old Warmblood mare was presented with an acute onset left hindlimb lameness associated with generalised soft tissue swelling of the entire limb and medial saphenous vein (MSV) thrombophlebitis. A presumptive diagnosis of extremity compartment syndrome (ECS) was made. Due to the clinical deterioration, emergency fasciotomy of the crural fascia and biopsy was performed. Histological and immunohistochemical examination of the samples confirmed a diagnosis of leiomyosarcoma likely originating from the tunica media of the MSV. This report is the first to describe an unique combination of ECS and thrombophlebitis associated with a leiomyosarcoma in a horse.

Compartment syndrome has a wide spectrum from muscle pain to a life- threatening condition, such as acute renal failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC). Intracerebral hemorrhage (ICH) due to compartment syndrome has not been reported. We report a patient who presented with ICH leading to death. A 25-year-old female with no significant past history developed extensive compartment syndrome followed by rhabdomyolysis, acute renal failure, DIC, and ICH. Although the patient underwent a fasciotomy and hemodialysis and received aggressive resuscitation with massive transfusions of blood and intravenous fluids, she died. This case stresses the importance of early diagnosis and prompt treatment of compartment syndrome to prevent devastating complications.

Varicella is usually considered to be a benign disease in healthy children; however, serious complications can occur such as necrotizing fasciitis and toxic shock syndrome. We describe a 38-month-old girl with necrotizing fasciitis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome following varicella. She was previously healthy and vaccinated against varicella at 12 months of age. She had been diagnosed with varicella three days prior to presenting at our facility; she developed fever, vomiting, and painful swelling on her left flank. Her skin lesions worsened, she became lethargic, and had episodes of hypotension and coagulopathy. Necrotizing fasciitis on the left abdominal wall, buttocks, and left thigh was diagnosed by magnetic resonance imaging, and group A Streptococcus was isolated from a tissue culture. She was diagnosed as necrotizing fasciitis and streptococcal toxic shock syndrome, and successfully treated with repeated surgical debridement and fasciotomy, in addition to intensive antibiotics. Our experience suggests that necrotizing fasciitis in patients with varicella should be considered to be a rare complication even with widespread vaccine use. Early diagnosis and intensive treatment are required to prevent a fatal outcome.
