ABSTRACT
Juniperus oxycedrus is a plant whose branches and wood are used to extract cade oil. This oil is widely used in traditional Moroccan medicine for its analgesic, digestive, bronchopulmonary, and dermatological properties. However, it contains toxic phenols like guaiacol and cresol, which can cause serious side effects across various organ systems, including renal, hepatic, cardiac, pulmonary, neurological, gastrointestinal, dermatological, hematological, and metabolic. We report the case of a newborn hospitalized in neonatal intensive care at Mohammed VI University Hospital in Oujda, Morocco, following cutaneous exposure to cade oil. The newborn was admitted with acute cardiovascular shock, rapidly progressing to multiorgan failure. Despite intensive resuscitation measures, the patient died on the second day of hospitalization.
