Rationale: Rhabdomyolysis is a serious complication of status epilepticus (SE) caused by muscle cell damage and can lead to a life-threatening acute kidney injury (AKI).
Patient Concerns: A 35-year-old man with a history of seizures treated with 3 different antiepileptic drugs (carbamazepine, lamotrigine, and levetiracetam) presented with SE. The patient received 5 doses of diazepam to control the SE in another hospital and was transferred to our emergency due to AKI.
