RESUMO

Ethylene glycol is a sweet-tasting liquid with industrial use as a solvent or as a starting reagent in chemical processes. Physicians are familiar with ethylene glycol because it is the major component of many antifreeze solutions and is taken in suicide attempts or, more often inadvertency. its metabolites may cause severe intoxication. Unfortunately, its metabolites are highly toxic and require rapid treatment Treatment involves correction of metabolic acidosis, ethanol administration and enhancement of elimination. The most commonly used elimination technique is hemodialysis We describe an 21-year-old man with acute renal failure due to ingestion of antifreeze that contained ethylene glycol. He was transferred to our hospital because of aggressive management The recovery of our patient with severe ethylene glycol intoxication illustrates that aggressive and early treatment can prevent mortality and morbidity.

RESUMO

We experienced two cases of Boerhaave syndrome (spontaneous esophageal rupture). The first patient was a 62-year-old male who presented epigastric pain after several violent vomitings associated with alcohol ingestion. Diagnosis was done early and promptly in our emergency center and then definitive treatment was done only after 12hrs from onset of his symptom and he was discharged in relatively good condition 256ays after his admission. The second patient was a 44-year-old male who was transfered to our emergency center with chest pain, dyspnea and fever after vomitings associated with autobicycle accident. Diagnosis was delayed due to initial trauma oriented evaluation and incidious develpement of typical clinical findings and then he was managed conservatively but he died of multiple organ failure due to sepsis. We report these cases with literature review.
