Abstract:
Rhabdomyolysis is an acute disorder resulting from skeletal muscle injury in which intracellular contents are released into extracellular space and plasma. The condition may result from drug or alcohol abuse, infection, collagen disease or intensive excersice, trauma and longstanding comatous mentality. We report a case of sciatic nerve palsy complicating gluteal compartment syndrome due to rhabdomyolysis.
