Rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria is a recognized complication of dystrophinopathies. It can be triggered by infections, exercise or volatile anesthetics. To our knowledge, it has never been reported in boys with Duchenne muscular dystrophy (DMD) after the administration of bisphosphonates. We report two patients with DMD who presented an apparent transient rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria after zoledronate administration. Possible mechanisms could involve hypophosphatemia, a known dose-dependent side effect of bisphosphonates, and/or direct myotoxicity of biphosphonates. Physicians and families should be aware of rhabdomyolysis with myoglobinuria as a potential uncommon side effect of bisphosphonates in DMD, in particular of zoledronate.
