A fatal intoxication due to doxepin, a tricyclic antidepressant, is described. Concentrations of doxepin and its metabolite, desmethyldoxepin, were measured in blood, urine, myocardial, and other tissues using thin layer chromatography (TLC) and gas chromatography equipped with a flame-ionisation detector (GC/FID). The developed technique also permitted the quantitative determination of the cis and trans isomers of doxepin. A very remarkable concentration ratio of doxepin:desmethyldoxepin was observed in myocardial tissues. A detailed report on the possible significance is described.
Since the age of sixteen, a teenager suffers from acute recurrent pancreatitis with a weight loss of 17 kg, without evident etiologic factor. At laparotomy the duct of Wirsung is absent; calculi are found in a grossly dilated duct of Santorini and the minor papilla is stenosed with periductal fibrosis and a large retention pseudocyst. Recurrent pancreatitis is cured by sphincteroplasty of the minor papilla and side-to-side pancreatico-jejunostomy. After a follow-up of 17 months the recurrent pancreatitis seems cured by sphincteroplasty of the minor papilla and side-to-side pancreatico-jejunostomy.
