Abstract

Chronic alcoholism and acute ethanol poisoning have significant effects on the central nervous system. These effects can be divided into two groups. The first effectis the volume loss associated with a toxic effect on neurons mediated by neurotransmitters and/or receptors and electrolytes, and the secondary effects are associatedwith the sequela of liver cirrhosis such as hepatic encephalopathy and coagulopathies, and the problems in the gastrointestinal tract leading to impairment ofvitamin uptake, ultimately leading to Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome. Herein, we report a 68-year-old male patient who presented to the emergency room withconfusion associated with acute ethanol poisoning on the basis of chronic alcoholism. A brain computed tomography (CT) scan revealed symmetrical hemorrhagicnecrosis in bilateral frontal regions. In our case, vasculopathies and infectious etiology were excluded through cerebral and carotid vertebral CT angiography,examinations, and laboratory findings. Investigation of the cause of this atypical radiographic finding revealed that ethanol ingestion leads to increased risk forhypertension, as well as cerebral hemorrhage by resulting in coagulation dysfunction; it triggers P53- and neuron-specific enolase- mediated apoptosis and necrosis,thereby resulting in neuronal damage. Acute and chronic use of ethanol has specific effects on the frontal lobe of the brain. The findings are discussed in light ofthe relevant literature.

Özet

Kronik alkolizmin ve akut etil alkol intoksikasyonunun santral sinir sistemi (SSS) üzerine etkileri vardır Etil alkolün SSS üzerine etkileri iki şekilde ortaya çıkar. Birincisi reseptörler üzerine olan etkisiyle iyon dengesizliğine sebep olarak oluşturduğu direkt nöronal toksisite, ikinicisi ise vitamin emilim eksikliğine bağlı Wernicke-Korsakoff sendromu, hepatik sistem üzerinden neden olduğu koagülopatilere bağlı etkilenme ve hepatik ensefalopati tablolarıdır. Bu yazıda kronik alkolizm zemininde akut etanol intoksikasyonu gelişen ve bilinç bulanıklığı etyolojisi araştırılırken çekilen beyin bilgisayarlı tomografi (BT) de simetrik bifrontal hemorajik nekroz izlenen 68 yaşında bir erkek hasta sunulmuştur. Serebral ve karotis vertebral BT anjiyografi, muayene ve laboratuvar bulguları ile vaskülopatiler ve enfeksiyöz etyolojiler dışlanmıştır. Bu atipik radyolojik bulgunun sebebi araştırıldığında etil alkol kullanımının hipertansiyon riskini artırdığı, koagülasyon faktörlerinde fonksiyon bozukluğu yaparak serebral hemoraji riskini artırması dışında P53 ve nöron spesifik enolaz aracılığıyla apopitoz ve nekrozu tetikleyerek nöronal hasara neden olduğu ayrıca etil alkolün akut ve kronik kullanımının beyinde frontal lobu spesifik olarak etkilediği literatür eşliğinde tartışıldı.
