Abstract

Baclofen toxicity can be a cause of profound coma with brainstem dysfunction mimicking brain death. Measuring plasma levels is not always possible and may be misleading. It's important to be careful in clinical evaluation and provide full supportive care. However, as demonstrated in our case, the prognosis can be good even in severe cases.

Özet

Yüksek doz baklofen alımı, beyin ölümünü taklit eden derin koma tablosuna neden olabilir. İlacın plazma düzeylerinin belirlenmesi her zaman mümkün olamayacağı gibi tanı konulmasını da güçleştirebilir. Klinik değerlendirme ve destekleyici tedavilerin önemi büyüktür. Bununla birlikte, olgumuzda da görüldüğü gibi ciddi vakalarda bile prognoz iyi seyreder.
