Potassium permanganate poisoning is not common. Although Symptoms of potassium permanganate ingestion are gastrointestinal and Complications due to ingestion of potassium permanganate include cardiovascular depression, hepatic and renal damage, upper airway obstruction, bleeding tendency and methemoglobinemia. Gastric damage due to potassium permanganate has rarely been reported previously. We are reporting a 34-year old female patient who presented to our Emergency Department after suicidal ingestion of potassium permanganate crystals. After treatment, the patient was discharged home on the 8(th) day after admission. So we conclude that Emergency endoscopy has a significant role in diagnosis and management of potassium permanganate ingestion.
高锰酸钾中毒并不常见。虽然摄入高锰酸钾的症状是胃肠道症状，且摄入高锰酸钾引起的并发症包括心血管抑制、肝和肾损伤、上呼吸道梗阻、出血倾向和高铁血红蛋白血症。此前很少有关于高锰酸钾导致胃损伤的报道。我们报告一名34岁女性患者，她因自杀性摄入高锰酸钾晶体后就诊于我院急诊科。经过治疗，患者在入院后第8天出院。因此我们得出结论，急诊内镜检查在高锰酸钾摄入的诊断和治疗中具有重要作用。
