Abstract EN
Acute nontraumatic exertional rhabdomyolysis may arise when the energy supply to muscle is insufficient to meet demands, particularly in physically untrained individuals.
We report on a psychiatric patient who developed large bruises and hemorrhagic blisters on both hands and arms, rhabdomyolysis of both forearm muscles with a moderate compartment syndrome, and consecutive acute renal failure following excessive work in the garden.
Although specifically asked, the patient denied any hard physical work or gardening, and heteroanamnestic data were not available.
The diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis was easy to establish, but until reliable anamnestic data were obtained, the etiology remained uncertain.
Four days after arrival, the patient recalled working hard in the garden.
The etiology of rhabdomyolysis was finally reached, and the importance of anamnestic data was once more confirmed.
