This paper reports the first such case from Turkey in which a 70-year-old man unintentionally ingested MEKP in his kitchen. The patient was brought into the emergency department (ED) within 1 hour of ingestion, with the symptoms of sore throat, shortness of breath, nausea and vomiting. Visual examination of the oropharynx revealed minor burns and uvular edema. A laryngoscope examination performed in the ED showed superficial mucosal injury with edema of the oropharynx, uvula, posterior pharynx, epiglottis, arytenoids and vocal cords. Lateral cervical radiography revealed a narrowing of airway due to a thickened epiglottis. After the diagnostic evaluation was completed, the patient was admitted to the gastroenterology intensive care unit for monitoring of adverse reactions. During follow-up, the patient made an uneventful recovery. Ingestion of MEKP generally results from accidental ingestion from a container. Therefore, these containers should be kept in safe places. In addition, the priority following the ingestion of MEKP should be given to maintain open and adequate airway in the ED.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1177\/0960327111407230","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,20]],"date-time":"2011-04-20T21:20:42Z","timestamp":1303334442000},"page":"2002-2006","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/sage-journals-update-policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Narrowing of airway caused by ingestion of methyl ethyl ketone peroxide"],"prefix":"10.1177","volume":"30","author":[{"given":"MN","family":"Bozdemir","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Selcuk University, Konya, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"M","family":"Yildiz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Firat University, Elazig, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"ES","family":"Seyhanl\u0131","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Firat University, Elazig, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"S","family":"Gurbuz","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Firat University, Elazig, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"I","family":"Kilicaslan","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Emergency Medicine, School of Medicine, Gazi University, Ankara, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]},{"given":"T","family":"Karlidag","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Otorhinolaryngology, School of Medicine, Firat University, Elazig, Turkey"}],"role":[{"role":"author","vocabulary":"crossref"}]}],"member":"179","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,20]]},"reference":[{"key":"bibr1-0960327111407230","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/0003-9861(92)90136-K"},{"key":"bibr2-0960327111407230","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1080\/15563650701232414"},{"key":"bibr3-0960327111407230","unstructured":"http:\/\/www.eagerplastics.com\/mekp.htm (accessed 26 December 2010)."},{"key":"bibr4-0960327111407230","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.108.2.473"},{"key":"bibr5-0960327111407230","first-page":"321","volume":"21","author":"Eells JT","year":"2000","journal-title":"Neurotoxicology"},{"key":"bibr6-0960327111407230","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.3109\/15563650903478315"},{"key":"bibr7-0960327111407230","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/096032719000900315"},{"key":"bibr8-0960327111407230","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1016\/j.ijheh.2007.07.011"},{"key":"bibr9-0960327111407230","first-page":"554","volume":"15","author":"Blazquez M","year":"1991","journal-title":"Gastroenterol Clin Biol"},{"key":"bibr10-0960327111407230","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1081\/CLT-120006745"},{"key":"bibr11-0960327111407230","doi-asserted-by":"publisher","DOI":"10.1177\/000348948509400513"},{"key":"bibr12-0960327111407230","first-page":"205","volume":"12","author":"Chataigner D","year":"1992","journal-title":"J Toxicol Clin Exp"}],"container-title":["Human &amp; Experimental Toxicology"],"original-title":[],"language":"en","link":[{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0960327111407230","content-type":"application\/pdf","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/full-xml\/10.1177\/0960327111407230","content-type":"application\/xml","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"text-mining"},{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/pdf\/10.1177\/0960327111407230","content-type":"unspecified","content-version":"vor","intended-application":"similarity-checking"}],"deposited":{"date-parts":[[2026,4,29]],"date-time":"2026-04-29T07:46:27Z","timestamp":1777448787000},"score":1,"resource":{"primary":{"URL":"https:\/\/journals.sagepub.com\/doi\/10.1177\/0960327111407230"}},"subtitle":[],"short-title":[],"issued":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,20]]},"references-count":12,"journal-issue":{"issue":"12","published-print":{"date-parts":[[2011,12]]}},"alternative-id":["10.1177\/0960327111407230"],"URL":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1177\/0960327111407230","relation":{},"ISSN":["0960-3271","1477-0903"],"issn-type":[{"value":"0960-3271","type":"print"},{"value":"1477-0903","type":"electronic"}],"subject":[],"published":{"date-parts":[[2011,4,20]]}}}
