説明
<jats:title>Abstract</jats:title><jats:p>Methylene blue has been used to help facilitate parathyroid surgery for over 30 years. Its use has been widely considered both safe and cost effective. Twenty‐six cases of a toxic metabolic encephalopathy, however, have been reported with its use. As a result, some surgeons have stopped using this technique altogether. It is now known that methylene blue is a monoamine oxidase inhibitor. When combined with drugs that increase central serotonin neurotransmission, serotonin toxicity results. This is the cause of the encephalopathy described in the literature. A case report, review of the literature, and guidelines as to its proper use are presented so as to allow for safe parathyroid surgery. Laryngoscope, 2009</jats:p>
