Falsely high serum creatinine concentration associated with severe methanol intoxication.
A case of severe methanol intoxication (1300 mg/L) was associated with markedly increased serum creatinine (490 mg/L) despite normal urea values and the absence of any other signs of renal disease. These values declined progressively to normal, and the patient recovered with no visual impairment. Additional laboratory experimentation suggested that the high creatinine value was probably ascriba...
متن کاملSevere reversible cardiac failure associated with methanol intoxication.
Methanol intoxication produces a well recognized clinical picture characterized by gastrointestinal, ocular and nervous system symptoms. The effect of poisoning on the cardiovascular system has not been well documented. We report the case of a 55 year old man whose acute methanol intoxication caused severe reversible cardiac failure. This represents the first description of an association betwe...
متن کاملMR findings in methanol intoxication.
We report the MR and CT findings with pathologic correlation in a case of severe methanol intoxication. There was bilateral hemorrhagic necrosis of the putamen and caudate nuclei and, in addition, extensive subcortical necrosis and symmetric bilateral necrosis of the pontine tegmentum and optic nerves, which may indicate poor prognosis.
متن کاملComputerised Tomography (CT) Scans
Conventional CT scan the scan is taken slice by slice and after each slice the scan stops and moves down to the next slice eg, from the top of the abdomen down to the pelvis. This requires patients to hold their breath to avoid movement artefact. Spiral/helical CT scan this is a continuous scan which is taken in a spiral fashion. It is a much quicker process and the scanned images are contiguous.

nerve was performed, with the active surface recording electrode over the midportion of the abductor digiti minimi muscle. The CMAP at rest was compared with the highest amplitude CMAP on stimulation. On the third hospital day supramaximal stimulation at 3 Hertz gave an increment of 18%, and stimulation at 50 Hertz gave an abnormal incremental response of 81% (normal mean increment = 2-4%; uppe...
