Rhabdomyolysis is rare in the head and neck. Early diagnosis and treatment is essential to prevent serious complications such as hyperkalaemia, acidosis, acute renal failure and disseminated intravascular coagulation. We present a case of rhabdomyolysis of the head and neck. CT and MRI findings supported the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis with the patient's clinical and laboratory findings. While imaging is not crucial, it can aid in the detection of rhabdomyolysis and narrow the differential diagnosis along with laboratory findings and physical examination.
横纹肌溶解症在头颈部较为罕见。早期诊断和治疗对于预防严重并发症(如高钾血症、酸中毒、急性肾衰竭和弥散性血管内凝血)至关重要。我们报告了一例头颈部横纹肌溶解症病例。CT 和 MRI 检查结果与患者的临床和实验室检查结果相符,支持横纹肌溶解症的诊断。虽然影像学检查并非关键,但它可以帮助检测横纹肌溶解症,并结合实验室检查和体格检查缩小鉴别诊断范围。
