Abstract
A young man developed an acute illness and presented to the hospital in shock. On admission, both severe rhabdomyolysis and pericardial tamponade were present, the tamponade occurring as a complication of pericarditis. Echocardiography was required for rapid diagnosis of the cardiac tamponade. The etiology of this severe, life-threatening illness is discussed.
