Systemic capillary leak syndrome associated with compartment syndrome.

[systemic capillary leak syndrome]

Systemic capillary leak syndrome is characterized by recurrent hypovolemic shock attributable to increased systemic capillary leakage . A 26 -year -old woman was admitted because of recurrent episodes of hypovolemic shock . Hemoconcentration , hypoalbuminemia , and monoclonal gammopathy were observed . We diagnosed systemic capillary leak syndrome . Three years later , she again had an attack of systemic capillary leak syndrome complicated with pretibial compartment syndrome . This case emphasizes the importance of muscle compartment pressure monitoring during volume resuscitation in patients with systemic capillary leak syndrome .
