We present 13 cases taken care at the Emergency Service, whose diagnosis was acute rhabdomyolysis related to consumption of illicit drugs. In all cases, the presence of cocaine in the urine was detected. Clinical features, other associated factors and complications are described, stressing the etiopathogenic mechanism of presentation of cocaine-related rhabdomyolysis.
