title: [Rhabdomyolysis and a plexus lesion following heroin poisoning].
abstract: We report about a young female patient who suffered a rhabdomyolysis and a plexus lesion after heroin intoxication. A computer-tomography was made to reveal the extent of myonecrosis. A larger rhabdomyolysis of muscles of the pelvis and left thigh was seen. A residual paresis of the left N. peronaeus existed at discharge of the patient.
