Abstract

Volkmann's contracture ischemia occure due to and increase in internal pressure of closed compartments of extremities and leaving the condition untreated.The most common site of occurrence of COMPARTMENT SYNDROME is the flexor side of upper extremities, with simultaneous engagement of extensor compartment. In general, isolated engagement of forearm's extensor and pronator teres muscle is rarely seen.The patients was 12 years old boy from Lorestan with a history of SNAKE BITE dating back to five years ago, and his examination revealed on engagement of right upper extremity as a contracture of extensors of the forearm and pronator teres.Snake bite is a rare cause of COMPARTMENT SYNDROME. Many authors do not believe in occurrence of COMPARTMENT SYNDROME following a SNAKE BITE. In this patient, because of presence of Volkmann's syndrome. It seems that the belief does not hold sway and there is a possibility of contracture following COMPARTMENT SYNDROME in similar cases and it should be noted.Therefore, in presence of signs of ischemia or COMPARTMENT SYNDROME following SNAKE BITE, fasciotomy of the exteremity should be done along with debridement of the site of bite. If signs of COMPARTMENT SYNDROME cannot be examined, due to severe pain and swelling, the compartment's pressure should be measured.
