Abstract

Methyl alcohol is an alcohol commonly used in the industry. It is also used in illegally produced drinks. Methyl alcohol poisoning is a clinical condition that causes vision loss, basal ganglion damage and metabolic acidosis with high risk of death. Bicarbonate supplementation, antidote administration and hemodialysis are applied to correct metabolic acidosis. We present in this study a 45-year-old male who was admitted to the Eye Polyclinic with sudden visual loss and was treated as methyl alcohol poisoning due to drinking 48 hours ago.

Özet

Metil alkol endüstride yaygın olarak kullanılan bir alkoldür. Yasadışı olarak ta kaçak üretilen içkilerde kullanılmaktadır. Metil alkol zehirlenmesi yüksek oranda ölüm riski taşıyan metabolik asidoza, görme kaybına ve bazal gangliyon hasarına neden olan klinik bir durumdur. Tedavide metabolik asidozun düzeltilmesi için bikarbonat takviyesi, antidot verilmesi ve hemodiyaliz uygulanır. Bu çalışmada metil alkol zehirlenmesi olarak tedavi edilen, göz polikliniğine ani görme kaybı nedeniyle başvuran ve 48 saat önce içki içtiğini bildiren 45 yaşında bir erkek olgu sunulmuştur.
