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.
