Abstract
- Rhabdomyolysis associated with psychogenic polydipsia and hyponatremia is a rare condition that can cause substantial morbidity and mortality. We report a 14-year-old boy with psychogenic polydipsia who experienced recurrent hyponatremia and subsequent rhabdomyolysis. Treatment involved intravenous fluids and restriction of oral water intake. This case emphasizes the importance of early recognition and management of this condition. The possibility of rhabdomyolysis should be considered in patients with hyponatremia who have myalgia.
