Abstract

In recent years, drug use has come to the forefront as one of the most important problems of public health. Tianeptine is an an-tidepressant that is structurally similar to tricyclic antidepressants and is used for the treatment of depression but is also abused be-cause its pleasing feature has been recognized by drug users. Two forensic cases were autopsied with an interval of 25 days. One case had unilateral unusual inguinal lesions. The other case bilateral unu-sual inguinal lesions. It was understood that these lesions were pre-formed, improved surgical catheter incisions in order to facilitate intravenous injections for drug abuse. This application, which was detected in the inguinal region, was found to be interesting. It is aimed to raise the awareness of this application, which is not found in the literature. As a result of the intense human transit, substance abuse habits and methods have also been transferred to citizens of the other countries, and new applications have emerged.

Özet

Madde kullanımı son yıllarda halk sağlığının en önemli so-runlarından biri olarak ön plana çıkmaktadır. Tianeptin, trisiklik antidepresanlara yapısal olarak benzerlik gösteren ve depresyon tedavisi amacıyla kullanılan, ancak kullanıcılar tarafından ke-yif verici özelliğinin tespit edilmesi sonucu kötüye kullanımı da olan bir antidepresandır. Yirmi beş gün arayla otopsileri ger-çekleşen adli nitelikli iki olgudan birinde tek taraflı, diğerinde ise iki taraflı inguinal sıra dışı lezyonlar saptandı. Bu lezyon-ların ilaç kötüye kullanımı amacıyla yapılacak intravenöz en-jeksiyonları kolaylaştırmak amacıyla daha önceden oluşturulan, iyileşmiş cerrahi katater insizyonları olduğu anlaşıldı. İnguinal bölgede saptanan bu uygulama ilginç bulunmuş ve literatürde rastlanmayan bu tianeptin uygulamasının farkındalık oluşturma-sı amaçlanmıştır.
