Abstract
Background
: Compartment syndrome after a snake bite is an uncommon occurrence. The effects are more pronounced in children possibly due to the reduced total dilution volume in children.
Case Report
: A 10-year-old boy presented with an alleged history of snakebite by a banded krait just above the lateral malleolus. The patient eventually developed compartment syndrome of the right lower limb involving leg and thigh which was diagnosed based on clinical evaluation & laboratory findings and was managed by emergency fasciotomy.
Conclusion
: Snake bitten limbs need constant monitoring in a hospital setting for any evolving systemic and local complications. Early surgical intervention may prove to be limb saving.
Keywords :
Acidosis, Ankle, Edema, Fasciotomy, Hypoxia, Snake Bites.
