Abstract

Postoperative discitis is a rare and painful complication that may emerge following spine procedures. We present a 34-year-old male patient with postoperative discitis who had been addicted to meperidine during pain relief. Three weeks after routine lumbar discectomy, this patient presented with clinical findings and radiographic imaging consistent with discitis. Meperidine, rate of administration was 1 mg/kg three times a day, was prescribed for his low back pain. After two weeks of opioid therapy an iatrogenic meperidine addiction occurred. Opioid analgesics are helpful for excessive painful conditions as a discitis. Although this case showed us we should be careful when we prescribe opioids.

Özet

Spinal girişimler sonrası seyrek ve ağrılı bir komplikasyon olan postoperatif diskitis ile karşılaşılabilir. Postopetarif dönemde diskitis gelişen ve ağrı tedavisi sırasında bağımlılık gelişen 34 yaşında bir erkek hastayı sunduk. Bu hastada rutin lomber diskektomiden 3 hafta sonra klinik ve radyolojik görüntülerin desteklediği diskitis gelişti.Hastanın arka ağrısı için 1mg/kg Meperidine günde 3 defa verildi. Opioid tedavisine başladıktan 2 hafta sonra bağımlılık gelişti. Opioid analjezikler diskitis gibi aşırı ağrılı durumlarda yardımcıdır. Bunula birlikte bu olgu sunumu opioid reçete ettiğimizde dikkatli olmamız gerektiğini bizlere göstermiştir.
