Rare Cause of Rhabdomyolysis - Case Report
Abstract:
Rhabdomyolysis, a syndrome caused by injury to the skeletal muscles, is a condition associated with various signs ranging in from asymptomatic elevation of serum creatine-kinase to acute kidney injury, abnormal heart rate and rhythm, coma and even death. We report the case of a 52-year-old woman who developed rhabdomyolysis following an epileptic seizure. Because a single epileptic seizure does not commonly cause rhabdomyolysis, we tried to identify other contributing factors. The only finding was an electrolyte imbalance due to vomiting. This case had a favorable outcome. Our report highlights the importance of considering rhabdomyolysis in a patient with a recent epileptic seizure, especially when several trigger factors for rhabdomyolysis act simultaneously in the same patient.
