Sentetik Kannabinoid İntoksikasyonunun Abdominal Bilgisayarlı Tomografi Bulguları: Vaka Sunumu

Bu vaka sunumunun amacı akut sentetik kannabinoid (SK) intoksikasyonu ile acil servise başvuran genç bir hastada, kendi kendini sınırlayan ve geri dönüşümlü abdominal çok dedektörlü bilgisayarlı tomografi (ÇDBT) bulgularının literature eşliğinde sunulmasıdır. SK intoksikasyonu, ÇDBT’de periportal halo işareti, pankreasın diffüz büyümesi, intra ve peripankreatik sıvı, uzun segment devam eden ince barsak duvar kalınlaşmaları ve barsak ansları arasında serbest sıvı şeklinde bulgular sergilemektedir. Kanımıza göre çalışmamız, SK intoksikasyonun batın ÇDBT bulgularını gösteren ilk çalışma olma özelliği taşımaktadır.

Abdominal Computerized Tomography Findings of Synthetic Cannabinoid Intoxication: A Case Report

The aim of this case report is the description of self-limiting and completely reversible abdominal findings using multi-detector computerized tomography (MDCT) in case of acute Synthetic cannabinoid (SC) intoxication. SC intoxication presents with findings such as periportal halo sign, diffuse enlargement of pancreas, intra- and peripancreatic fluid, long segment small bowel wall thickening and fluid between dilated intestinal loops at abdominal MDCT. To the best of our knowledge, the study is the first to report abdominal MDCT findings of SC intoxication.
