Abstract
Acute intoxication with paraphenylene diamine, a mineral compound used as h air dye, associates asphyxia due to cervical oedema and rhabdomyolysis. We report the case of a patient with lethal cardiogenic shock secondary to myo cardial rhabdomyolysis confirmed by a postmortem biopsy. (C) 2000 Editions scientifiques et medicales Elsevier SAS.
