Abstract:
We experienced a case of acute alcoholism after ethanol fixation for ovarian chocolate cyst. A 46 year old female was scheduled for ethanol fixation for ovarian chocolate cyst. Ethanol fixation was performed with 110 ml of 99% ethanol under general anesthesia. Ethanol 70 ml was not removed. After the operation, patient did not emerge from anesthesia within 30 min. Blood alcohol concentration was 232 mg.dl-1. It is important to remove total ethanol used for ethanol fixation in anesthetic management for ethanol fixation for ovarian chocolate cyst.
