[A case of nemaline myopathy combined with recurrent rhabdomyolysis].
A four-year-old boy with cerebral palsy showed marked myoglobinemia and developed acute renal failure. Peritoneal dialysis and exchange transfusion resulted in saving the patient. He had a second episode of rhabdomyolysis after one month. Renal failure did not develop due to forced solute-alkaline diuresis therapy. Muscle biopsy revealed nemaline bodies by the Gomori trichome stain. Serum and muscle carnitine showed a marked decrease.
