UnlabelledOBJECTIVE AND PATIENT: To report, an uncommon case of recurrent effort-related biceps compartment syndrome induced by strengthening exercises (body building) in a thirty-years-old white man.Discussion Conclusioncompartment syndrome is typically observed in the lower leg or in the forearm with pain, muscle tightness, cramp-like feeling during exertion. The involvement of the biceps was only described after traumatisms. Patient was initially thought to have metabolic myopathy because acute episodes of exercise induced myalgia and elevated serum CK. Tissue pressure monitoring prior and after a standard exercise test is helpful for diagnosing the recurrent form. The only alternative to fasciotomy is to stop sports activities.
