Abstract:
Prolonged inhalation of gas butane induced mostly neurological and cardiovascular symptoms. We reported two very rare cases of acute rhabdomyolysis caused by accidental prolonged inhalation of butane. The early diagnosis and the symptomatic treatment were associated with favourable evolution in the two cases. The mechanism of this complication is discussed and compared with the literature.
