Crush syndrome

[muggia]

Several years ago we published a short paper: Bloom A, Zamir G,
Muggia-Sullam M, Friedlander M, Gimmon Z, Rivkind A.

      Torture rhabdomyorhexis -- a pseudo-crush syndrome.

      J Trauma 1995;38:252-254.

 

You do not need heavy objects to cause a crush syndrome. But rather, a
combination of repeated blunt injuries (like beating) with dehydration.
