Article Synopsis
- - Magnesium (Mg) inhibits neurotransmitter release by competing with calcium during synaptic transmission and is commonly used to treat conditions like eclampsia and preeclampsia.
- - After being treated with Mg following an emergency Caesarian section, two pregnant women exhibited a "pseudocoma" state characterized by severe muscle weakness, absence of reflexes, and lack of respiratory effort, yet they still had intact pupillary responses.
- - The lack of reflexes in striated muscles, alongside preserved pupillary reflexes, suggested a problem at the neuromuscular junction, and both women recovered after stopping Mg treatment.
