Rhabdomyolysis complicated by posterior reversible encephalopathy / 中华神经科杂志

ABSTRACT

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a clinical and radiological entity,caused by a variety of reasons.We report a case of rhabdomyolysis complicated by posterior reversible encephalopathy and suggest that giving fluids early,use of diuretics and alkalization of urine may be reasonable for patients with rhabdomyolysis.Monitoring blood pressure is noteworthy to prevent target organ damage,and if patient condition steadily deteriorates,hemodialysis should be initiated.
