From Medical Analgesic to Recreational Use : A Rare Case of Acute Myelitis Caused by Laughing Gas Abuse
Copyright © 2023, H. Moussa et al..
Nitrous oxide, commonly known as laughing gas, which is originally intended to be used in various industries as well as for legitimate medical purposes, has unfortunately come to be used recreationally. However, it is crucial to recognize that the seemingly innocent recreational use of nitrous oxide can have serious repercussions on one's health. When consumed in excessive quantities and for prolonged periods, this substance can lead to serious adverse effects. In this article, we shed light on the abuse potential of the substance by discussing a distressing case of a young nitrous oxide user who developed severe myelitis.
