We report the case of a 36 year old male who demonstrated extensive high attenuation in the muscles of the chest wall and neck on a noncontrast chest CT. The high attenuation in the musculature was due to calcium, sequela from a recent episode of rhabdomyolysis. Although the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis is made on clinical grounds, the imaging appearance can be confusing given the variability in appearance of rhabdomyolysis depending on the severity and the timeline of disease.
我们报告了一例 36 岁男性病例,其非对比胸部 CT 显示胸壁和颈部肌肉广泛存在高衰减。肌肉中的高衰减是由于钙引起的,这是近期横纹肌溶解症发作的后遗症。尽管横纹肌溶解症的诊断是基于临床依据,但鉴于横纹肌溶解症的表现根据疾病的严重程度和时间线而有所不同,其影像学表现可能会令人困惑。
