Beş günde İçinde Atropa Belladonna (Güzelavrat Otu) Zehirlenmesi ile Gelen Üç Geriatrik Olgu
Öz
Introduction: Atropa belladonna (AB), commonly known as deadly nightshade, is known to be toxic. AB has toxic anticholinergic effects on the body. Anticholinergic toxic syndrome (ATS) affects both the central and peripheral nervous systems, causing delirium, hallucination, tachycardia, choreoathetoid movements, mydriasis, and dry skin.Case Report: The first case includes a 70-year-old man who was brought to the emergency department by his relatives with complaints of confusion, hallucinations, and meaningless conversation. The second case was related to a 75-year-old female patient brought to the emergency department with the same complaints. Upon regaining consciousness, it was learned from the history that both cases ate this plant for regulation of blood sugar. The third case was related to a 60-year-old man brought to the emergency department with complaints of agitation and confusion. All three patients underwent conservative treatment.Conclusion: It would be lifesaving to do anamneses in detail as often as clinical examination and imaging in cases that may be confused with acute cerebrovascular events. It was concluded that poisoning derived from plants, especially in geriatric patients who have consciousness, hallucination, meaningless hand gestures, and speech findings, must be considered thoroughly
