Core Tip
Core tip: Gluteal compartment syndrome (GCS) is rare. Methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus infected GCS with rhabdomyolysis and acute kidney injury has not been reported. Compartment pressure monitoring and magnetic resonance imaging are useful for the diagnosis of this condition. Successful management comprises surgical fasciotomy, debridement together with antibiotics.
