Description
Summary:The authors present an unusual case that has been seldom reported in the literature. The clinical rhabdomyolysis syndrome, resulting from muscle disintegration, can be the result of numerous etiologic events and have serious sequelae. The pedal manifestations result from muscular and neurologic insult. The patient in this reported case survived rhabdomyolysis despite renal and hepatic failure requiring diuresis and hemodialysis. The only permanent long-term sequelae the patient suffered was flexible hammertoe deformities and parasthesias of all lesser digits of both feet. The follow-up is over 8 years.
