Compartment Syndrome is increased pressure in a compartment which contains muscles or nerves.

In this case, I would assume it would be in the left arm area because that was where he was injured the most.

What is the importance of fluid between the skull and the brain?
myrzilka [38]
Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF), clear, colourless liquid that fills and surrounds the brain and the spinal cord and provides a mechanical barrier against shock. Formed primarily in the ventricles of the brain, the cerebrospinal fluid supports the brain and provides lubrication between surrounding bones and the brain and spinal cord. When an individual suffers a head injury, the fluid acts as a cushion, dulling the force by distributing its impact. The fluid helps to maintain pressure within the cranium at a constant level.
