Seizure-induced rhabdomyolysis accompanied by acute renal failure in a dog. 1978

W L Spangler, and F M Muggli

Secondary complications from extreme and prolonged convulsive seizures occurred in a young dog. Physical exertion resulted in necrosis of a substantial amount of skeletal muscle. The release of large quantities of myoglobin into the circulation caused severe impairment of renal function. Anoxia, apparently associated with the inability to breathe during seizures, resulted in brain damage. It was concluded that, although primary therapy must be directed toward alleviation of intense seizure activity, subsequent screening for renal disease and corollary supportive therapy would be appropriate.

D013226 Status Epilepticus A prolonged seizure or seizures repeated frequently enough to prevent recovery between episodes occurring over a period of 20-30 minutes. The most common subtype is generalized tonic-clonic status epilepticus, a potentially fatal condition associated with neuronal injury and respiratory and metabolic dysfunction. Nonconvulsive forms include petit mal status and complex partial status, which may manifest as behavioral disturbances. Simple partial status epilepticus consists of persistent motor, sensory, or autonomic seizures that do not impair cognition (see also EPILEPSIA PARTIALIS CONTINUA). Subclinical status epilepticus generally refers to seizures occurring in an unresponsive or comatose individual in the absence of overt signs of seizure activity.
