N2  - Phenytoin metabolism is best described using nonlinear (Michaelis-Menton) kinetics. When calculated pharmacokinetic values, including half life and clearance, do not correspond to measured variables, alternative reasons must be sought. We present an interesting case of phenytoin toxicity and suggest that formation of a bezoar may be one possible answer to prolonged toxicity.<p /> <p>Language: en</p>
