description Severe constipation is a frequent presentation but progression into a life-threatening acute compartment syndrome (ACS) is few and far between. This case highlights the typical physiological manifestations of ACS and the immediate benefits of correcting these physiological imbalances through the disimpaction of a massive faecaloma. Furthermore, in adult patients with a history of colonic dysmotility, adult Hirschsprung’s disease should be considered.
