Case Report: A Case of Successful Rescue of Compartment Syndrome after Diquat Poisoning

A retrospective analysis was conducted on the clinical data of one patient with compartment syndrome caused by paraquat dichloride poisoning who was successfully treated in Nanyang Central Hospital in May 2025. After the patient took paraquat dichloride by himself, he received treatment such as gastric lavage and catharsis in a local hospital. Due to the critical condition, he was transferred to Nanyang Central Hospital, where he was diagnosed with acute renal failure and rhabdomyolysis. Treatments including hemoperfusion and continuous veno-venous hemofiltration (CVVH) were given. Compartment syndrome was diagnosed in a timely manner, and decompressive fasciotomy was performed. Eventually, the patient was successfully cured and discharged. So far, this is the first successfully treated case of paraquat dichloride poisoning complicated with rhabdomyolysis and compartment syndrome, which will enrich the experience in the treatment of paraquat dichloride poisoning, help detect the complications of paraquat dichloride poisoning at an early stage, and attract high attention from doctors.
