Peripheral nerve injuries resulting from earthquakes are often overlooked or their treatment is delayed. We would like to express our gratitude for this comprehensive article that raises awareness on this topic. Survivors rescued from under the rubble after the earthquake face devastating conditions with serious clinical consequences such as crush syndrome due to multiple traumas, especially in the extremities. Such traumas can result in long-term temporary or permanent disabilities and significantly affect the quality of life of survivors. We would like to contribute to this study by presenting a case of a patient trapped under debris after an earthquake who experienced functional losses due to peripheral nerve injuries resulting from compartment syndrome.</p> Canan Tıkız İlhan Celil Özbek Copyright (c) 2024 Ulus Medical Journal https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0 2024-05-10 2024-05-10 2 1 10.5281/zenodo.11123146
