Core Tip
Core tip: This is a retrospective study to evaluate rhabdomyolysis in childhood. Rhabdomyolysis could be caused by a number of reasons, which could be classified as sporadic and hereditary/recurrent. The initial point that is to attract attention in this manuscript is the importance of the rhabdomyolysis type (recurrent/sporadic). Even though rhabdomyolysis is not routinely involved in textbooks concerning neuromuscular diseases, it is an integral part of these diseases. It should be taken into consideration in the first diagnosis and clinical follow-up of patients. It is possible to encounter with a rhabdomyolysis attack in every case. But its treatment is different from that of a primary disease.
