Abstract :Rhabdomyolysis is a syndrome that occurs as a result of the destruction of muscle cells and intracellular materials are added to the systemic circulation. Clinical and laboratory findings and complications arise as a result of the destruction of muscle cells. In our case, a 19-year-old male patient was admitted to the emergency department with bilateral widespread leg pain and inability to walk, especially in the right leg. Within the scope of the quarantine applied during the Covid-19 epidemic, the patient remained without leaving home for a few months. On the day she went out, her complaints started despite only walking around for a while and not doing any heavy exercise. The patient was followed up and treated with the diagnosis of rhabdomyolysis since the creatinine kinase insert ignore into journalissuearticles values(CK); level was found to be significantly higher in the laboratory tests of the patient. This case is presented to us to draw attention to the fact that secondary results of pandemics can occur in different situations and that rhabdomyolysis can be treated without early diagnosis and complications. Not leaving the house during the pandemic process should not lead to an excessively sedate life. It is important to overcome the pandemic period without encountering disorders such as rhabdomyolysis and thromboembolisKeywords : COVİD 19, Pandemic, Rhabdomyolysis
