Rhabdomyolysis represents an acute skeletal muscle injury and may be accompanied by acute renal failure due to myoglobinuria. This disorder has many potential causes. We describe the case of a 75-year-old man who developed rhabdomyolysis after prolonged exposure to cold but without associated hypothermia. This unusual case highlights that an appropriate investigation for rhabdomyolysis such as serum CK measurement should be performed in patients presenting with a history of prolonged exposure to cold, even in the absence of an obvious precipitating factor.
横纹肌溶解症是一种急性骨骼肌损伤，可能因肌红蛋白尿而伴有急性肾衰竭。这种病症有许多潜在病因。我们描述了一例75岁男性的病例，该患者在长时间暴露于寒冷环境后发生横纹肌溶解症，但无体温过低相关情况。这一不寻常的病例凸显出，对于有长时间暴露于寒冷环境病史的患者，即使没有明显的诱发因素，也应进行适当的横纹肌溶解症相关检查，如测定血清肌酸激酶。
