There are literature reports of anabolic-androgenic steroid-induced rhabdomyolysis. Here we describe a case of a patient presenting with acute confusion and rhabdomyolysis, following an unwitnessed seizure. He had a background of alcohol excess. Three days into his admission he developed
dysphagia
. At first, the patient denied the use of any medication or drugs. However, he later revealed he had used the anabolic steroid '
Anavar
' (oxandrolone) for 60 consecutive days ending a month prior to his admission. The brief seizure was itself unlikely to have resulted in the severity of his rhabdomyolysis. Thus, we report a likely case of delayed rhabdomyolysis secondary to anabolic steroid use. The oropharyngeal
dysphagia
may be secondary to the rhabdomyolysis; there have been cases of this described in literature.
