| Abstract: | A ruptured popliteal cyst usually results in calf pain and swelling. We report the case of a patient with rheumatoid arthritis
who developed anterior compartment syndrome of the leg following rupture of a popliteal cyst. Since acute compartment syndrome
requires prompt treatment, clinicians should be aware of this rare complication.
