ABSTRACT
Peripheral neuropathy is the most common reaction to toxic chemical substances in the nervous system. Toxic neuropathies are often misdiagnosed because there are no easily available specific or biologic tests for the diagnosis. Guillain-Barre syndrome is the most common cause of acute flaccid paralysis in children and adolescents. Clinical signs of the disease are often at the beginning of the distal symmetric weakness and areflexia progresses rapidly. Although capsaicin is widely used in the treatment of so many diseases, especially of neuropathic pain, cancer and osteoarthritis, it is known to be toxic in many systems such as the eye, skin, respiratory, and circulatory systems. Although there is inadequate information about its long-term effects, it has also been reported that in large quantities there is increased risk of toxicity and prolonged exposure can lead to death. In our case, we present acute polyneuropathy mimicking Guillain-Barre syndrome after exposure to pepper spray because it is noteworthy and interesting.
RESUMEN
Periferik nöropati sinir sisteminin toksik kimyasal maddelere karsi verdigi en sik görülen reaksiyonudur. Tani için özgün ya da biyolojik testlerin kolaylikla bulunmamasi ve maruziyetin bilinmemesi nedeni ile toksik nöropatiler siklikla yanlis tani alirlar. Guillain-Barre sendromu çocuk ve ergenlerde akut flask paralizinin en sik nedenidir; klinik bulgulari hastaligin baslangicinda distalde olup siklikla hizli ilerleme gösteren simetrik güçsüzlük ve arefleksidir. Agri, kanser, osteoartrit vb. birçok hastalik tedavisinde kullanim alani bulan kapsaisinin basta göz, deri, solunum ve dolasim sistemi olmak üzere birçok sistemde toksik etki gösterdigi, hatta ölüme götüren hastalik süreçlerini tetikledigi bilinmektedir. Uzun dönemdeki etkileri ile ilgili yeterli bilgi bulunmamakla birlikte, yüksek miktarlarda ve uzamis maruziyet durumunda toksik risklerin arttigi ve ölüme yol açabilecegi de bildirilmektedir. Olgumuzda biber gazi maruziyeti sonrasi Guillain-Barre sendromunu taklit eden polinöropati olgusu ilgi çekici olmasi nedeni ile sunulmustur.
