Traconia Fish Sting in a City without a Sea
1Department of Orthopedics and Traumatology, Kafkas University / Health Research and Application Hospital, Kars, Turkey.
Abstract:
The traconia fish fish poisons people it comes into contact with using the spiny structure on its back. In this case, we report the exposure of a 62-year-old housewife to a dead traconia fish while cleaning the fish. The patient came to the emergency room with unbearable pain and burning sensation in his hand. He was not relieved by the analgesia given after the examination in the emergency room and the hot water immersion methods applied. Local anesthesia-analgesia was provided by the orthopedist using the regional block technique. It should not be forgotten that such rare cases may occur in places that are not connected to the sea and/or even when the fish is dead.
