Spinal cord necrosis after intrathecal injection of methylene blue.
A 59 year old man had 6 ml of unbuffered methylene blue injected into the lumbar theca in an attempt to localise the source of cerebrospinal fluid rhinorrhoea. After injection of the dye he became shocked, and within the next few days he developed a mild paraparesis which subsequently progressed to a total paraplegia. The distribution of the spinal cord damage found at necropsy, eight and a hal...
متن کاملFat necrosis in the breast from methylene blue dye injection.
Sentinel lymph node biopsy has become the standard of clinical care in staging axillary lymph nodes for breast carcinoma. While deemed safe and effective, methylene blue dye has been associated with infection, fibrosis, and skin and fat necrosis. The variable appearance of surgical dye-related fibrosis and fat necrosis on imaging studies poses a challenge to both radiologists and clinicians. We...
متن کاملMethylene Blue Mitigates Acute Neuroinflammation after Spinal Cord Injury through Inhibiting NLRP3 Inflammasome Activation in Microglia
The spinal cord injury (SCI) is a detrimental neurological disease involving the primary mechanical injury and secondary inflammatory damage. Curtailing the detrimental neuroinflammation would be beneficial for spinal cord function recovery. Microglia reside in the spinal cord and actively participate in the onset, progression and perhaps resolution of post-SCI neuroinflammation. In the current...
متن کاملIntrathecal injection of bone marrow stromal cells attenuates neurologic injury after spinal cord ischemia.
BACKGROUND It has been shown that transplantation of bone marrow stromal cells (MSCs) into the ischemic brain improves functional outcome. We sought to investigate whether intrathecal injection of MSCs can attenuate neurologic injury of spinal cord ischemia. METHODS Rabbit MSCs were expanded in vitro and were pre-labeled with bromodeoxyuridine. Spinal cord ischemia was induced in rabbits by i...
متن کاملHaemolytic jaundice in a neonate after intra-amniotic injection of methylene blue.
Premature rupture of the fetal membranes is associated with neonatal morbidity and mortality, and correct diagnosis is important. Generally diagnosis is simple, but in difficult cases obstetricians have used several techniques to differentiate between leaking liquor and urinary incontinence, including injecting dye into the amniotic cavity. The original report of this technique used Evans's blu...
