Abstract [sv]

Lustgas är ett populärt rusmedel bland unga som ofta felaktigt uppfattas som ofarligt.

Upprepad lustgasanvändning i berusningssyfte kan ge funktionell vitamin B12-brist med nervskador och trombo­emboliska komplikationer, vilket avhandlats i tidigare artiklar i Läkartidningen.

Även enstaka användning av lustgas i berusningssyfte kan dock medföra allvarliga risker, vilket illustreras i det aktuella fallet, där patienten drabbades av krampanfall och luftvägsruptur.

Abstract [en]

The use of nitrous oxide (N2O) as a recreational drug has significantly increased around the world in the last decade and has become a common occurrence in Sweden. Nitrous oxide can be easily accessed, purchased from party stores and online, and is legal in Sweden. There is a common misconception that nitrous oxide is harmless because it is used in healthcare. However, chronic nitrous oxide abuse can lead to a functional state of B12 deficiency with neurological and thromboembolic complications. The present case illustrates that recreational use of nitrous oxide may also lead to acute complications, including seizures and rupture of the airways.
