    Abstract

    OBJECTIVE:

    To report a massive, 100 g ibuprofen ingestion in an adolescent, with survival.

    CASE REPORT:

    The patient developed coma, metabolic acidosis, and mild thrombocytopenia, but improved rapidly with supportive care. Renal function remained normal and no gastrointestinal bleeding occurred.

    CONCLUSIONS:

    Massive ingestion of ibuprofen may result in a variable picture with some elements of significant toxicity, but supportive care usually results in survival without sequelae.
