Abstract :Rhabdomyolysis is a potentially life-threating syndrome which is caused by muscle injury and characterized by the leakage of muscle cell contents, including electrolytes, myoglobin and other sarcoplasmic proteins into circulation. Rhandomyolysis may develop from a variety of causes such as trauma, muscle disease, drugs and toxins etc. Acut kidney injury is the most frequent lethal complication of rhabdomyolysis. Seizures especially generalized tonic-clonic type can rarely cause rhabdomyolysis by the muscle forces generated during seizure episode. In this case, we represent a rarely seen case of acute renal failure due to rhabdomyolsis after seizure episodes with full recovery
