Cocaine-Induced Rhabdomyolysis Causing Lumbosacral Plexopathy in an Adult Male

A 48-year-old male presented three days after cocaine use with acute, rapid onset of bilateral lower extremity weakness, bilateral foot numbness, acute urinary retention, and significantly elevated creatinine kinase. Further testing revealed unusual symmetrical edema with contrast enhancement on MRI...

description A 48-year-old male presented three days after cocaine use with acute, rapid onset of bilateral lower extremity weakness, bilateral foot numbness, acute urinary retention, and significantly elevated creatinine kinase. Further testing revealed unusual symmetrical edema with contrast enhancement on MRI of the lower extremities. The patient was diagnosed with severe non-traumatic, non-exertional rhabdomyolysis causing lumbosacral plexopathy following cocaine use. The treatment was centered around aggressive fluid resuscitation and electrolyte replacement.
