Abstract
|
|
|
Background: Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome of skeletal muscle breakdown with leakage of muscle contents into blood stream. Variable disorders affecting muscle membrane or its energy supply can cause rhabdomyolysis.
Case Report: We report a patient with rapidly progressive dementia who developed severe parkinsonism after rhabdomyolysis in the course of the illness. Functional neuroimaging studies revealed diffuse cortical hypometabolism and severe nigrostriatal dopaminergic dysfunction.
Conclusion: This case suggests that the special attentions should be paid on evaluation for rhabdomyolysis in some demented patients.
