Rhabdomyolysis is a rare presentation of hypokalemia, although muscle weakness is a well known manifestation of marked hypokalemia. Here, we report a case of primary hyperaldosteronism due to unilateral aldosterone-producing adenoma in a 14 year-old girl who developed rhabdomyolysis following hypokalemia. To our knowledge, this is the first case of adrenocortical adenoma presenting with rhabdomyolysis in a child.
横纹肌溶解症是低钾血症的一种罕见表现，尽管肌肉无力是显著低钾血症的一种众所周知的表现。在此，我们报告一例14岁女孩因单侧醛固酮分泌腺瘤导致原发性醛固酮增多症，该女孩在低钾血症后发生了横纹肌溶解症。据我们所知，这是儿童肾上腺皮质腺瘤伴横纹肌溶解症的首例病例。
