Özet:

 


Introduction: Methyl
alcohol (methanol) is an industrial solvent and toxic liquid used in such as
anti-freezes, paint removers, cologne, perfumes and defroster and also it is
the most used denaturant in spirits (methylated spirits) to make it
unconsumable. Even oral route seems to be the only way for poisoning, in rare
cases inhalation and transdermal routes are possible. We present a case report
with transdermal exposure applied according to the folk remedial use of
methylated spirit for analgesic effects. 

Case Report:
A thirty-four year old woman was brought to the emergency department by her
relatives with extreme fatigue, vomitting, difficulty in walking and sitting,
rapid breathing and also confusion. Her laboratory tests suggested deep
metobolic acidosis with high anyon gap. She was admitted to intensive care unit
and received hemodialysis. After her treatment, she was fully recovered without
any vision defisit. 

Conclusion: Prompt
diagnosis and treatment are the keys to avoid sequels and deaths due to
methanol intoxications by all routes. At least to avoid potential sources,
harmful folk medicine applications are should be defined clearly and
society-based measurements should be implemented.
