Acute compartment syndrome following Bitis viper envenomation: a literature review with case reports
These cases highlight that timely surgical intervention, combined with intensive care and antivenin may play a critical role in preventing irreversible tissue damage following viperid envenomation. However, universal guidelines are lacking. Incorporating intracompartmental pressure monitoring into treatment protocols may further improve diagnostic accuracy and patient outcomes.
