Rhabdomyolysis due to hereditary torsion dystonia

Pediatr Neurol. 1995 Jul;13(1):83-4. doi: 10.1016/0887-8994(95)00111-r.

Abstract

Following an acute dystonic crisis, a 6-year-old boy with hereditary torsion dystonia developed rhabdomyolysis. To our knowledge, hereditary torsion dystonia has never been reported as a cause of rhabdomyolysis. Early diagnosis and treatment of rhabdomyolysis should be considered in children with severe dystonia in order to prevent renal failure.
