Rhabdomyolysis: risks and consequences of the procedure

Rhabdomyol lyolysis (otherwise known as extensive physical therapy) is the treatment of affected muscles by applying mechanical pressure to their fibers. Its goal is to relieve pain in patients with various muscle diseases, such as dermatomyositis, muscular dystrophies, tenosynovitis, mitochondrial diseases. Essentially, this procedure aims to reduce muscle hyperactivity caused by inflammation, allowing patients to relax during the increased demands of movement associated with treating illnesses. It is important to note that if treatment occurs in an emergency room, this technique is called reflex compression. During or after the procedure is performed in a medical setting, patients are monitored by a physical therapist. Subsequent rehabilitation therapy may include physical therapy. As a rule, new exercises are introduced within its framework to stretch muscles, support joint mobility, and gradually restore strength. Since excessive inflammation and swelling are the main causes of the development of the disease, it is important to use painkillers and anti-inflammatory drugs, which, along with other drugs, are prescribed to the patient by the doctor. Extra-articular treatments should then be started, including corticosteroids and topical medications, which are gradually withdrawn as regeneration and

Rhabdomyomas are benign tumors of muscle fibers that have a rare distribution and are tumors that have a tendency to grow. This pathology is usually called “octopus”, “buffalo tumor”. They are also classified as rare malformations and mesodermal tumors. There are quite a few rhabdomyomas in our country.

Rhabdomyomas are tumors that grow from myoblasts, which, in turn, are divided into myogenic tissue differentiates (cellular forms). Myoblasts are cells that are similar to muscle cells. Therefore, the primary group of cells from which rhabdomyomas and other buffalo-type tumors develop must first develop within muscle tissue, but as they grow, blood vessels form at the borders of the tumors and hemorrhage occurs. This can be understood by the accumulation of blood vessels and porphyrins in the tissues.

Historically, the development of “octopus-like” tumors was thought to be associated with muscle trauma. The muscles are injured, local hemorrhage occurs, thickening, and then growth
