Myelopathy caused by nitrous oxide toxicity.
We describe a case of myeloneuropathy resulting from nitrous oxide abuse. MR imaging of the spine revealed symmetric abnormal signal in the posterior columns of the cervical cord. Myeloneuropathy is caused by inactivation of vitamin B12 by nitrous oxide. This syndrome can also be seen in patients with borderline vitamin B12 deficiency who have recently been anesthetized with nitrous oxide.
متن کاملEsophageal rupture caused by compressed nitrous oxide.
Rupture of the esophageal wall is most commonly iatrogenic. Boerhaave’s syndrome refers to spontaneous esophageal perforation that occurs because of retching or vomiting. Spontaneous perforation of the esophagus results from a sudden increase in intraesophageal pressure combined with relatively a negative intrathoracic pressure. We report a case of esophageal rupture in a young patient caused b...
متن کاملSubacute combined degeneration caused by nitrous oxide intoxication: case reports.
PURPOSE Case reports with a comprehensive review of the current literature concerning subacute combined degeneration induced by nitrous oxide inhalation. A differential diagnosis should be considered when young patients present with progressive myelopathy because that the misuse of nitrous oxide has potentially serious outcomes. CASES REPORT Three young patients aged from 18 to 24, one male a...
متن کاملInactivation by Nitrous Oxide
Myelo-cytotoxicity of extended nitrous oxide (N,O) inhalation was described almost forty years ago and then incidentally applied already with temporary success for suppressing leukemia. In 1948 the accompanying megaloblastic maturation arrest was explained by inactivation of the methylcobalamin coenzyme and subsequent folate deficiency. We studied the anti-leukemic effect of N, O on a transplan...
متن کاملP110: Nitrous Oxide and Neuroinflammation
Nitrous oxide was an anaesthetic gas that was used for many years. There were many anaesthetic drugs in operations with many side effects. Nitrous oxide had some side effects too. But it was a safe gas in many times. In hospital personnel who worked in operating rooms exposure to this gas was important. The objective of this study was the introduction of nitrous oxide and neurologic side ...
