Introduction: Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially lethal syndrome characterized by disintegration of striated muscle fibers. In children Rhabdomyolysis is caused mostly by trauma, nonketotic hyperosmolar coma, viral myositis, dystonia and malignant hyperthermia. Case report: A 14 year old male was brought into the emergency room because of a decreased level of consciousness following alcohol and cannabis. An initial assessment indicated the presence of hypothermia and a Glasgow Coma Scale of 9. A blood biochemical analysis showed a mixed acidosis and CPK levels of 12260 U/L (CK-MB 132 U/L). After diagnosing alcohol induced coma and rhabdomyolysis, intravenous fluids and urinary alkalinization are administered. The patient presented a rapid neurological improvement reaching normal within 12 hours. He remained normotensive, adequate diuresis, negative balances, normal blood gas values and urine test strips presented no pathological changes. A maximum level of serum CPK was observed 24 hours after ingestion (20820 U/L), with subsequent decline to 6261 U/L at day 5, once he was discharged. Discussion: Alcohol poisoning is a rare cause of rhabdomyolysis in Pediatrics. The main therapeutic goal is to prevent acute renal failure, aggressive fluid therapy and urine alkalinization then must be administered, monitoring possible electrolyte abnormalities and the presence of myoglobinuria. In conclusion, rhabdomyolysis is one of the possible complications after alcohol poisoning. Given its potential morbidity, it should always be considered.
