Ketamine is a substance discovered in 1960. It is regularly used for its properties in the field of anesthesiology. However, some patients misuse this medication recreationally, exposing themselves to various psychiatric complications such as depersonalization, as well as hepatobiliary complications with bile duct dilation or urological complications with bladder involvement. Management primarily relies on symptomatic treatment of the complications and appropriate support from the treating physician, whose role is to assist these patients in managing their addiction.
