title: Rhabdomyolysis of the masseter muscle: case report.
abstract: We describe a case of rhabdomyolysis involving the masseter muscle. It involved an episode of muscle lysis of the left upper and lower limb and the left masseter, after ingesting an unknown quantity of alcohol, amphetamines and ecstasy with prolonged immobility for an unknown period after collapse. Musculoskeletal sonography was used to diagnose rhabdomyolysis of the left masseter muscle.
