title: Case report: rhabdomyolysis following grand mal seizures presenting as a delayed and increasingly dense nephrogram.
abstract: Rhabdomyolysis as a result of major trauma is a well recognized cause of acute renal failure. Non-traumatic rhabdomyolysis causing transient renal impairment may occur following generalized convulsions. We present a case in which rhabdomyolysis following epilepsy was first indicated at urography by a delayed and increasingly dense persistent nephrogram.
