Methadone

Methadone Reactions 1704, p241 - 2 Jun 2018 Various toxicities: case report A 32-year-old woman developed narcotic bowel syndrome, acute bowel obstruction, intussusception and acute bowel necrosis during treatment with methadone for severe, unexplained and intermittent abdominal pain [route, dosage, duration of treatment to reactions onsets and outcomes not stated]. The woman presented with nausea and worsening abdominal pain. She had a six month history of severe, unexplained and intermittent abdominal pain. Her medical history was significant for chronic opiate dependence [specific drug not stated]. Currently, she had been receiving methadone for severe, unexplained and intermittent abdominal pain. She had undergone laparoscopic Roux-en-Y gastric bypass weight loss operation twelve years ago and a laparoscopic reduction of an intussusception two years ago at an outside hospital. On examination, she was tachycardic and afebrile. An abdominal examination demonstrated palpable and distended large mass in the right upper quadrant with moderate tenderness, worse on the right side. The woman was taken emergently to the operating room for an exploratory mid-line laparotomy. Operative findings showed a small bowel intussusception, which obstructed the jejunoje-junostomy. The intussusceptum segment was 160cm in length. Manual reduction showed that the entire intussusceptum segment was necrotic and required excision.
