Rhabdomyolysis due to hereditary torsion dystonia.
Following an acute dystonic crisis, a 6-year-old boy with hereditary torsion dystonia developed rhabdomyolysis. To our knowledge, hereditary torsion dystonia has never been reported as a cause of rhabdomyolysis. Early diagnosis and treatment of rhabdomyolysis should be considered in children with severe dystonia in order to prevent renal failure.
