Severe Rhabdomyolysis After Allogeneic Transplantation of Facial Structures: A Case Report
2010
We present a patient with panfacial
neurofibromatosistype 1 who underwent allogeneic transplantation of facial structures, which was complicated by severe
rhabdomyolysisand temporary oligoanuria. Because of his underlying disease, this 35 year-old man, weighing 68 kg and with a body mass index (BMI) of 27, had undergone 17 operations for resection modeling of hypertrophied tissues, either alone or combined with static suspension techniques. He finally underwent allogeneic transplantation of facial structures. In the early hours of the postoperative period, in the context of a
systemic inflammatory response syndrome, he experienced severe
rhabdomyolysis, with elevation of the muscle enzyme
creatine kinaseproducing a minor impact on kidney function. The patient was discharged home at 12 weeks after the transplantation.
