摘要
Leukoencephalopathies have been reported after heroin inhalation or ingestion, and buprenorphine injection, but the physiopathology remains unclear. We report here the first case of leukoencephalopathy caused by buprenorphine ingestion in a 2-year-old child who was admitted for coma and fever. Due to technical problems, the toxicology screen was delayed, and infectious disease was first suspected. A brain MRI found bilateral and symmetric white matter damages in the cerebral hemispheres and the cerebellum. Rapid recovery and positive toxicology screen for buprenorphine on day 4 confirmed the diagnosis of acute intoxication. (C) 2011 European Paediatric Neurology Society. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
