| compartment syndrome | <syndrome> A group of symptoms which indicate a nerve, blood vessel or tendon is being constricted due to swelling within a closed anatomic space.

| compartment syndromes | Conditions in which increased pressure within a limited space compromises the circulation and function of tissue within that space. Compartmentation involves mainly the leg but also involved are the forearm, arm, thigh, shoulder, and buttock. Some of the causes of increased pressure are trauma, tight dressings, haemorrhage, and exercise. Sequelae include nerve compression, paralysis, and contracture. (12 Dec 1998) |
| compartmental model | <epidemiology> A mathematical model which divides hosts into different compartments according to their infectious state. A typical model for microparasites might be an SEIR model. Sometimes referred to as a prevalence model. (05 Dec 1998) |
| compartmental syndrome | <syndrome> A condition in which increased pressure in a confined anatomical space adversely affects the circulation and threatens the function and viability of the tissues therein. (05 Mar 2000) |
