Rhabdomyolysis is a widely used non steroid anti-inflammatory drug. Rhabdomyolysis after taking Diclofenac is rarely reported, and the association to a glossopharyngeal edema has never been discussed. Here is a case of rhabdomyolysis associated to glossopharyngeal edema after taking 200 mg of Diclofenac. The patient was first diagnosed with para phenyl di-amine intoxication but the toxicological examinations were negative. The patient outcome was good after symptomatic treatment.
