[Cerebral seizure in naftidrofuryl infusion].

Abstract

The case of a 7-year-old boy who suffered a convulsion during parenteral infusion of naftidrofuryl is reported. The effectiveness of adding naftidrofuryl to infusions designed to increase cochlear blood flow in cases of sudden hearing loss has been keenly debated in the otologic literature. Several hazards are associated with this drug, especially when the infusion is performed too fast. We recommend an individual decision for each patient suffering from cochleo-vestibular disorder based on the neurological and cardiological risk factors and the therapeutic possibilities.
