AB  - Formaldehyde (FA) or formaldehyde solution, whose industrial name is formalin ad systematic name is methanal (CH2O), is an organic compound in the aldehyde structure. Industrially, FA is used for its preservative and sterilizing agent properties. Fish farms use FA solutions against bacterial diseases in juvenile fish, protect to fish, and for disinfection purposes. Although FA is a frequently used substance in the industrial, laboratory, and cosmetic fields, the literature is very scare in terms of toxic doses or symptoms in cases of oral intakes. This case describes the clinical course and wrong mismanagement acute oral FA ingesting.

N2  - Formaldehit (FA) veya endüstriyel adı formalin, sistematik adı metanal (CH2O) olan formaldehit çözeltisi, aldehit yapısında bulunan organik bir bileşiktir. Endüstriyel olarak FA, koruyucu ve sterilize edici madde özellikleri nedeniyle kullanılır. Balık çiftlikleri yavru balıklarda bakteriyel hastalıklara karşı, balıkları koruma ve dezenfeksiyon amacıyla FA solüsyonlarını kullanmaktadır. FA endüstriyel, laboratuvar ve kozmetik alanlarda sıklıkla kullanılan bir madde olmasına rağmen literatürde toksik dozlar veya oral alımlarda ortaya çıkan semptomlar açısından oldukça korkutucudur. Bu vaka, akut oral FA alımının klinik gidişatını ve yanlış yönetimi anlatmaktadır.
