dc.description.abstractThe aim of this report is present two cases of compartment syndrome following snake envenomations. Both of patients, which are 63-year-old woman and 2-year-old boy, were bitten on their hands by snake. After 48 hours, in the both patients hands oedema and pain progressed. Later echymosis, cyanosis and paresthesia developed and the pulses could not be detected anymore. Both of the cases were diagnosed as compartment syndrome and after fasciotomy they recoveried completely. We postulate that compartment syndrome may occur following snake bites as a delayed local complication, even if signs of systemic poisoning are missing.
