| Abstract |
| A ruptured popliteal cyst usually results
in calf pain and swelling. We report the case of a patient with
rheumatoid arthritis who
developed anterior compartment syndrome of the leg following
rupture of a popliteal cyst. Since acute compartment syndrome
requires prompt treatment, clinicians should be aware of this
rare complication. |
