Neonatal compartment syndrome is a rare but severe condition caused by increased pressure within the muscle compartment, leading to ischemia and tissue damage. Early signs, such as skin lesions at birth, are crucial for timely diagnosis. Management depends on the extent of injury; early fasciotomy may be beneficial, while delayed cases often require staged surgeries or amputation. In neonates, amputation must be carefully planned to preserve limb length and soft tissue. Prompt recognition and multidisciplinary care are essential to improving outcomes and minimizing long-term disability. In This report we present a case of neonatal lower limb compartment syndrome. The objective is to raise awareness of this rare clinical entity in order to facilitate earlier diagnosis and optimize management strategies.
