Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) in the lower extremity presents as pain in the leg worsened by activity and improved with rest. Typical historical elements combined with objective data from intracompartmental pressure (ICP) testing make the diagnosis.
Apr 2, 2024 · Exertional compartment syndrome is an exercise-induced condition of the leg characterized by reversible ischemia to muscles within a muscular compartment. Diagnosis is made by obtaining compartment pressures at rest, during exercise and post-exercise.
Aug 4, 2023 · Exertional compartment syndrome is often a diagnosis of exclusion and occurs secondary to increased pressures in a muscular compartment, with resultant ischemia manifesting most commonly as pain. There are two distinct forms of exertional compartment syndrome, acute and chronic types.

May 3, 2022 · Chronic exertional compartment syndrome (CECS) is a condition that typically affects young endurance athletes, especially those who run extensively. Like acute compartment syndrome (ACS), it is thought to result from increased pressure within a muscle compartment.
MRI and other imaging studies have been used to diagnose compartment syndrome, but the standard diagnostic test is a measurement of the compartment pressures. These pressures are measured by using a special instrument that analyzes pressure through a needle placed in the muscle.
