Abstract EN
Exertional rhabdomyolysis is sequela that is occasionally seen after strenuous exercise.
The progression to compartment syndrome or renal failure is a rare complication that requires prompt recognition and treatment to prevent morbidity (Giannoglou et al.
2007).
We present a case of a 22-year-old college football player who presented to the emergency department (ED) after a typical leg workout as part of his weight conditioning.
He was found to have rhabdomyolysis with evidence of renal insufficiency.
His condition progressed to bilateral compartment syndrome and renal failure requiring dialysis.
After bilateral fasciotomies were performed he had resolution of his compartment syndrome.
He continued to be dialysis dependent and had no return of his renal function at discharge 12 days after admission.
