Abstract

Botulism is a rare but severe and rapidly progressing neurological disease. Here, we describe a 44 year old woman developed nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and cranial nerve palsies after eating spaghetti with tomato sauce prepared at home. These were rapidly followed by descending limb muscle weakness and respiratory failure. Our patient’s clinical evaluation and the detailed electrophysiologic examination suggested the diagnosis of botulism. The patient was given only medical and supportive care and fully recovered approximately 2 months later.

Özet

Botulizm, nadir görülen ama hızlı progresyon gösteren ağır bir nörolojik hastalıktır.Burada biz, evde hazırlanmış domates soslu makarna yedikten sonra bulantı, kusma, ishal ve takiben kraniyal sinir palsi gelişen 44 yaşında bir kadın hasta sunduk. Bulguları hızlıca yukarıdan aşağıya doğru ilerleyen ekstremite kas güçsüzlüğü ve solunum güçlüğü takip etmişti. Hastanın klinik ve ayrıntılı elektrofizyolojik bulguları bize botulizm tanısını düşündürdü. Sadece gerekli medikal ve destek tedavisi verilen hasta yaklaşık 2 ay sonra tamamen iyileşti.
