Neomycin-induced neuromuscular blockade

Urology
J W ColemanJ H McGovern

Abstract

The unusual complication of neuromuscular blockade secondary to neomycin absorption is described. The syndrome characterized by acute muscle flaccidity, diaphragmatic breathing, and central nervous system depression presents a potentially fatal situation. Appropriate treatment of this complication includes respiratory assistance and calcium gluconate administration (IV). A review of the pediatric literature reveals 12 previous cases, of which 2 were secondary to urologic procedures.
