A 27-year-old man underwent the right knee joint operation under general anesthesia with CLM. After the operation, he complained of taste disturbance of the left side of the tongue. We measured electrical taste threshold and the serum level of zinc, copper and iron. The taste threshold was elevated in the two nerve areas of the left side of the tongue (chorda tympani, N. glossopharyngeus) and the serum levels of zinc and iron were low. We concluded that he had been short of zinc and iron and the insertion of CLM had triggered taste disturbance.
一名27岁男性在全身麻醉下使用氯胺酮进行了右膝关节手术。术后，他抱怨左侧舌头味觉障碍。我们测量了电味觉阈值以及血清锌、铜和铁水平。左侧舌头的两个神经区域（鼓索神经、舌咽神经）的味觉阈值升高，且血清锌和铁水平较低。我们得出结论，他缺乏锌和铁，而氯胺酮的植入引发了味觉障碍。
