- Abstract
Aim: Rhabdomyolysis is a rare clinical entity. Its manifestation might be acute or delayed, with an acute episode frequently accompanied by severe clinical signs, while delayed rhabdomyolysis presentation has a more benign progression. Case report: Here we report a case of a 70-year-old patient with combined rhabdomyolysis, brachial plexus injury, second-degree burn injuries and acute kidney injury with an unusual cause of injury and subsequent mild clinical course. Conclusion: Even with a benign clinical course, one must think of rhabdomyolysis in uncertain injury mechanisms or questionable circumstances, and prompt laboratory diagnosis and fluid supplementation should be undertaken.
