Rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure following a single dose of succinylcholine.
A 30-year old with rhabdomyolysis and acute renal failure is presented. The attack followed a minor operation under general anaesthesia during which succinylcholine was administered as muscle relaxant. The fasciculations which occurred immediately after injection of succinylcholine may possibly have precipitated rhabdomyolysis.
