Abstract
BACKGROUND: Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome characterized by muscle necrosis and secretion of intracellular muscle components into the blood circulation. Acute compartment syndrome is a potential complication of severe rhabdomyolysis.
CASE REPORT: We report 3 cases of compartment syndrome-related peripheral neuropathy in alcoholic individuals with rhabdomyolysis. All patients were confirmed to have peripheral neuropathy by electrophysiologic studies.
CONCLUSIONS: Patients with underlying metabolic abnormalities, such as those related to long-term alcoholism, should be aware that rhabdomyolysis is likely to cause neurological abnormalities.
Keywords: Compartment Syndromes, Peripheral Nervous System Diseases, rhabdomyolysis
