A Case of Compartment Syndrome in the Scrotum and Inguinal Area Complicating Idiopathic Nephrotic Syndrome of Childhood

We report a 7-year-old, diagnosed with NS presenting with a relapse. He developed ascites and scrotal edema followed by severe scrotal pain and redness, progressing rapidly to ecchymosis in the inguinal areas not in continuity with the scrotum. Ultrasound with color Doppler was inconclusive, scrotal exploration was done along with skin incision in the inguinal areas and scrotum, which appeared to relieve the condition rapidly.
