Based on the clinical assessment, the patient was diagnosed with anterior compartment syndrome of the thigh and underwent fasciotomy. Postoperatively, 1.5 L of blood were drained from his wound in the first 30 minutes after the operation. Angiography was performed demonstrating bleeding from the lateral femoral circumflex which was successfully embolized.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n Conclusions:<\/jats:title>\n Our case represents the underlying arterial injury that was initially undiagnosed as a cause for thigh compartment syndrome.
