Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by headache, mental changes,
epileptic seizures, visual disturbances, and transient changes in the posterior circulation system of the
brain. Rhabdomyolysis is a clinical condition characterized by muscle pain, weakness, dark-colored
urine, and elevated creatine kinase levels. The common causes of rhabdomyolysis are trauma, excessive
fatigue and intense exercise. A 23-year-old male soldier developed rhabdomyolysis-induced acute
kidney injury after intense exercise and secondary PRES. The patient also had generalized convulsive
seizures. There is no similar case of PRES from acute renal failure induced by muscle injury previously
reported in the literature.
