abstract="An infrequent manifestation of monoamine oxidase inhibitor (MAOI) toxicity is 'ping-pong gaze' (PPG). We describe the case of a 26-year-old female who was found unresponsive after taking 40 tablets of phenelzine. On presentation to the hospital, her eyes were moving in characteristic 'ping pong' fashion. After 6 hours her gaze terminated. The following day her neurologic exam was benign and she had no long-term sequelae. While the etiology of PPG is unknown, it is most often seen with irreversible structural brain damage. However, a detailed literature review revealed that previous cases of MAOI toxicity where the patient survived have all had complete neurologic recovery. © 2016 Journal of Pharmacology and Pharmacotherapeutics.<p /><p>Language: en</p>",
