Phenytoin is a commonly used antiepileptic medication in the pediatric age group, but it has a narrow therapeutic range. Various adverse effects have been reported commonly. We report a relatively rare case of encephalopathy in a child from overdose of injectable phenytoin due to ignorance of the previous treatment. Scrutiny of medical records and history is of utmost importance while administering such medications.
苯妥英钠是儿科常用的抗癫痫药物,但治疗窗较窄。常见多种不良反应的报道。我们报告了一例相对罕见的病例,一名儿童因忽视既往治疗而过量注射苯妥英钠导致脑病。在使用此类药物时,仔细审查病历和病史至关重要。
