Abstract

A 41-year-old female with Crohn's disease, who had undergone multiple previous surgery and had short bowel syndrome, was admitted to our department due to the onset of rhabdomyolysis caused by severe potassium depletion. Despite her critical clinical condition on admission, intense fluid and electrolyte support arrested the process of muscle necrosis and the patient recovered completely.
