Abstract :
Neonatal compartment syndrome is a rare condi-tion mainly involving the upper extremity with ulcer-ated and necrotic lesions. It should be evaluated in detail due to the similarity with other conditions like necrotizing fasciitis, neonatal gangrene, and congenital varicella, etc. Early diagnosis and treat-ment have a paramount importance for the best outcome. To emphasize this, we would like to pres-ent a newborn with the forearm compartment syn-drome diagnosed promptly and treated surgically.
