Mal de debarquement (MDD) is a common, benign, and self-limited syndrome suffered by many people after disembarkation from an oceangoing vessel. It is characterized by a continuing sensation of being on an unsteady pitching and rolling deck, even after a return to solid ground. Symptoms typically dissipate over several hours or days, but can linger for weeks. There is no effective treatment for MDD, no work-up is required, and patients can be reassured that the symptoms are transient. We present a case of MDD in a previously healthy 22-year-old male, and discuss the approach to MDD in the emergency department setting.
晕船后综合征(MDD)是许多人在从远洋船只上岸后所患的一种常见、良性且自限性的综合征。其特征是即使回到坚实地面后,仍持续感觉处于不稳定的颠簸摇晃甲板上。症状通常在数小时或数天内消散,但可能持续数周。目前尚无针对MDD的有效治疗方法,无需进行检查,可向患者保证症状是暂时的。我们报告一例先前健康的22岁男性的MDD病例,并讨论在急诊科环境中对MDD的处理方法。
