Abstract:
Toxic epidermal necrolysis (TEN) is rare but serious cutaneous reaction with significant mortality and long-term morbidity. Various etiologies, particularly numerous medications and infectious agents have been implicated. It is characterized as inflammatory bullous lesions of the skin and mucous membrane and can develop serious complications such as pneumonia, pneumothorax, sepsis and renal failure. In general, patients with TEN are managed as severe second-degree burn patients with preventing excessive fluid deficit and infections. In this case, we aimed to present anesthetic management of a 26-year-old pregnant woman with TEN who received general anesthesia during emergent cesarean section.
