Kalsiyum Asetat Alımı Sonrası Dilde Olağandışı Aşırı Şişlik: Olgu Sunumu

Kalsiyum asetatın sık görülen yan etkileri arasında hiperkalsemi, bulantı-kusma, ishal ve halsizlik yer alırken, insidansı bilinmeyen yan etkileri arasında "şişme" yer alır. Sadece dil şişmesi ile sınırlı, diğer anafilaktik semptomları göstermeyen bir alerjik reaksiyon olgusunu sunuyoruz. Olgumuz, tedavi için kalsiyum asetat kullandıktan 3 saat sonra izole dilde şişlik şikayeti ile acil servise başvuran kadın hastaydı. İzole dilde şişlik şikayeti olan ancak nedeni belirlenemeyen hastalarda bir gıda katkı maddesi olan kalsiyum asetatın buna neden olabileceği akılda tutulmalıdır.

Unusual Excessive Swelling of the Tongue after Calcium Acetate Ingestion: A Case Report

Common side effects of calcium acetate include increased blood calcium levels, nausea-vomiting, diarrhea, and fatigue, while side effects of unknown incidence include "swelling". We present the case of an allergic reaction limited to tongue swelling alone, not showing other anaphylactic symptoms. Our case was a female patient who applied to the emergency department with the complaint of isolated tongue swelling three hours after using calcium acetate for treatment. It should be kept in mind that calcium acetate, a food additive, may cause this in patients with the complaint of isolated tongue swelling, but the cause of which cannot be determined.
