Özet

We report a case with an unusual manifestation of autoerythrocyte sensitization syndrome (Gardner-Diamond syndrome). The patient had the clinical signs of compartment syndrome of the forearm requiring fasciotomy. Dermatological signs identical to Gardner-Diamond syndrome should alert the physician to avoid unnecessary fasciotomy, as these patients respond well to psychiatric treatment as in the present case.
