[A case of central anticholinergic syndrome in pediatric anesthesia]. 1988

Abteilung Anaesthesie III, Medizinische Hochschule Hannover.

The central cholinergic syndrome developed in a 5 1/2-year-old child after premedication with midazolam and a short volatile anesthetic. Diagnosis was made more difficult because of a history of nephrotic syndrome, convulsions, relative acetylcholinesterase deficiency and chronic medication with a corticosteroid. Successful management of such cases depends on a through differential diagnosis before the institution of physostigmine therapy. Intensive postoperative monitoring is strongly recommended.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008874 Midazolam A short-acting hypnotic-sedative drug with anxiolytic and amnestic properties. It is used in dentistry, cardiac surgery, endoscopic procedures, as preanesthetic medication, and as an adjunct to local anesthesia. The short duration and cardiorespiratory stability makes it useful in poor-risk, elderly, and cardiac patients. It is water-soluble at pH less than 4 and lipid-soluble at physiological pH.

D009404 Nephrotic Syndrome A condition characterized by severe PROTEINURIA, greater than 3.5 g/day in an average adult. The substantial loss of protein in the urine results in complications such as HYPOPROTEINEMIA; generalized EDEMA; HYPERTENSION; and HYPERLIPIDEMIAS. Diseases associated with nephrotic syndrome generally cause chronic kidney dysfunction.

D010275 Parasympathetic Nervous System The craniosacral division of the autonomic nervous system. The cell bodies of the parasympathetic preganglionic fibers are in brain stem nuclei and in the sacral spinal cord. They synapse in cranial autonomic ganglia or in terminal ganglia near target organs. The parasympathetic nervous system generally acts to conserve resources and restore homeostasis, often with effects reciprocal to the sympathetic nervous system.
