Bir Çocukta Metaklopramid’e Bağlı Akut Distonik Reaksiyon: Bir Olgu Sunumu

Year 2012, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 59 - 61, 01.04.2012

Abstract

Metoklopramid çeşitli gastrointestinal semptomların tedavisinde
kullanılan dopamin reseptör antagonisti olan bir ilaçtır. Bu ilaç
çeşitli ekstrapiramidal hareket bozukluğuna neden olabilmektedir.
Metoklopramid tedavisinin 1.-3. günlerinde nadir bir komplikasyon
olan akut distoni gelişmektedir. Akut distoniler genellikle
bukkolingual, tortikollik, okülojirik, tortipelvik ve/veya opistotonik
şekillerde olmaktadır. Yedi yaşında erkek olgu, başka bir hastaneden
nöbet öntanısı ile acil kliniğine refere edilmişti. Hastaya geldiği
hastanede iki gün önce akut gastroenterit tanısı konulmuş
ve damardan sıvı ve metoklopramid (0.5 mg/kg/gün, 3 dozda)
tedavileri başlanmıştı. Bir saat önce vücudunda, ekstremitelerinde
ve kafasında atipik hareketler olmaya başlamış, nöbet düşünülmüştü.
Bu yüzden olgu ileri tetkik için sevk edilmişti. Öykü ve
fizik muayene bulguları ile akut distonik reaksiyon tanısı konulan
olguya biperidene lactate (5 mg) verildi. Dört saat sonra tüm
semptomları iyileşti. Sonuç olarak, metoklopramide bağlı gelişen
akut distonik reaksiyonlar, hekimler tarafından distonik hareketlerin
sıklıkla iyi bilinmemesinden dolayı nöbetler ile karıştırılabilir.
Bu yüzden, biz akut distonik reaksiyonların nöbet ayırıcı tanısında
düşünülmesi gerektiğini vurguluyoruz.

Metoclopramide Induced Acute Dystonic Reaction in a Child: A Case Report

Year 2012, Volume: 3 Issue: 2, 59 - 61, 01.04.2012

Abstract

Metoclopramide is a dopamine receptor antagonist drug that has been used for treatment of a variety of gastrointestinal symptoms. It may also cause a variety of extrapyramidal movement disorders. Acute dystonia is a rare side effect that develops especially in children within the 1st-3rd days of metoclopramide treatment. Acute dystonias usually present themselves as buccolingual, torticollic, oculogyric, tortipelvic, and/or opisthotonic forms. A seven-yearold boy was referred to our emergency department from another hospital with the pre-diagnosis of seizure. A diagnosis of acute gastroenteritis had been made there and treatment with intravenous fluid and metoclopramide (0.5 mg/kg per day in three doses) had been started two days prior. One hour earlier, atypical limb and head movements had begun and seizure was thought to be the cause. Consequently, he was sent to our department for further evaluation. Based on the history and physical examination findings, a diagnosis of acute dystonic reaction was made and biperidene lactate (5 mg) was given. Four hours later, all symptoms had abated. In conclusion, acute dystonic reactions developing due to metoclopramide can be confused with seizures, because of physicians’ unfamiliarity with dystonic movements. Therefore, it is necessary that acute dystonic reactions be considered in differential diagnosis of seizures
