Rare case of compartment syndrome provoked by inhalation of polyurethane agent: A case report

Table 1 Electrodiagnostic testing results. Initial test results done right after the fasciotomy suggested that the patient developed both peroneal and tibial neuropathy

MUAP: Motor unit action potential; DIP: Discrete interference pattern; PIP: Partial interference pattern. The full test was not completed due to the wound status. Electromyography done eight months after suggested that the patient developed both incomplete peroneal and tibial neuropathy. Motor unit action potential and conduction study indicated that the left lower limb had some regeneration evidence, but no significant changes were observed compared to the previous test.
