Review Case Reports
Spontaneous compartment syndrome in a patient with diabetes insipidus.
We describe a case of spontaneous muscle necrosis of the anterior tibial compartment occurring in a patient who had a hypophysectomy for a craniopharyngioma five years previously. We know of no other reported cases of spontaneous muscle necrosis in association with diabetes insipidus and feel that there should be increased awareness of the association between the two.
