Abstract

Acute rhabdomyolysis corresponds to the destruction of striated muscles causing the release of their cellular contents into the plasma and circulation. It could be caused by alcohol abuse, drug abuse, infection, trauma, exertional exercise, and coma. Rhabdomyolysis associcated with surgery is rare, however, we present a case of bilateral paraspinal rhadomyolysis after a prostatectomy in the supine position.
