Özet
Siyanür düşük dozlarda bile hızlıca dakikalar içerisinde ölüme yol açabilen güçlü bir zehirdir. Erik, kiraz, kayısı, şeftali, acı badem gibi meyvelerin çekirdeklerinde bulunan amigdalin maddesi midede hidrojen siyanüre dönüşebilmektedir. Siyanür zehirlenmeleri nadiren siyanür glikozitleri içeren gıda ürünlerinin alımını takiben gözlenir. Kayısı çekirdeği yenmesine bağlı siyanür intoksikasyonu gelişen 3,5yaşındaki erkek hastaya intoksikasyonun 9. gününde beyin manyetik rezonans görüntüleme yapıldı. Beyin Manyetik rezonans görüntülemede, bilateral lentiform nükleusta hemorajik hasar ve kaudat nükleuslarda hasar gözlemlendi. Amacımız kayısı çekirdeği yenmesinden sonra meydana gelen siyanür zehirlenmesi olgusunun beyin manyetik rezonans görüntüleme bulgularını sunmaktır.
Cyanide is a strong poison which acts rapidly and which may lead to death in minutes even at low doses. The substance of amigdaline which is found in seeds of fruit including plum, cherry, apricot, peach and bitter almond can be converted into hydrogen cyanide in the stomach. Cyanide intoxications are rarely observed following the ingestion of food products that contain cyanide glycosides. Brain magnetic resonance imaging was performed 9 days after intoxication in a 3.5-year old male patient in whom cyanide poisoning developed as a result of intake of apricot seed. On brain magnetic resonance imaging, hemorrhagic damage was found in bilateral lentiform nuclei and damage was found in the caudate nuclei. Our aim was to present magnetic resonance imaging findings related to cyanide poisoning which occurred after the ingestion of apricot seed.
