Compartment syndrome occurs when excessive pressure builds up inside an enclosed space in the body. Compartment syndrome usually results from bleeding or swelling after an injury. The high pressure impedes the flow of blood to and from the affected tissues and could be an emergency requiring immediate surgery.

Is compartment syndrome hereditary?

Compartment syndrome is not typically considered to be hereditary. It is more commonly associated with acute trauma or overuse injuries that lead to increased pressure within a muscle compartment, restricting blood flow and potentially causing damage to tissues. Genetics may play a role in an individual's susceptibility to certain conditions that can contribute to compartment syndrome, but it is not considered a directly hereditary condition.
