Abstract
Summary: Local vascular and traumatic involvement are well-recognized causes of anterior tibial compartment syndrome (ATCS) terminating as myoneural ischaemia. However, in a large number of patients the cause of ATCS remains unidentified. We document the occurrence of bilateral ATCS in a patient of hypothyroidism, to our knowledge a previously unrecorded association.Keywords
