Acute dystonia in labour: side-effect of concealed self-medication attributed to epidural analgesia.

Abstract:

:Any convulsion during labour requires immediate action, but before this can occur a correct diagnosis must be made. Here we describe a case where a 'fit' was wrongly attributed to epidural analgesia. This was in fact a dystonic reaction secondary to undeclared self-medication with metoclopramide. It is therefore important to ensure that a full drug history is obtained from all patients to exclude a drug interaction or side-effect when faced with unusual and potentially serious complications of drug therapy.

  • Intrapartum management of a patient with urticaria pigmentosa.

    abstract::Urticaria pigmentosa is a cutaneous variant of mastocytosis. This is a complex group of diseases distinguished by abnormal aggregation of mast cells within the skin and other organs. Mast cell degranulation and subsequent release of vasoactive amines may occur in response to a variety of non-immune triggers leading to...
