Abstract :
Background: Rhabdomyolysis is considered a rare medical condition in pediatric population. Case Report: We report our experience on a one year old girl referred to Shiraz Nemazee Hospital, Southern Iran with rhabdomyolysis due to severe hypernatremia, secondary to gastroenteritis. Discussion: Rhabdomyolysis should be taken in to consideration in hypernatremic states, as it may lead to severe consequences. Treatment of underlying cause and proper management of hypernatremia could be helpful while handling this complicated situation.
