Brain MRI Findings of Carbon Disulfide Poisoning

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the findings of brain MRI in patients with carbon disulfide poisoning. MATERIALS AND METHODS Ninety-one patients who had suffered carbon disulfide poisoning [male:female=87:4; age, 32-74 (mean 53.3) years] were included in this study. To determine the extent of white matter hyperintensity (Grade 0-V) and lacunar infarction, T2-weighted MR imaging of the brain was perform...

Cerebral infarction immediately after ingestion of hydrogen peroxide solution.

BACKGROUND We report the clinical and neuroimaging findings of a patient who sustained multiple cerebral infarcts after the ingestion of concentrated hydrogen peroxide solution sold as a "health food" product. CASE DESCRIPTION An 84-year-old man sustained focal neurological deficits immediately after ingesting 30 mL of 35% hydrogen peroxide solution. Physical examination disclosed a left hemi...

Myocardial infarction secondary to unintentional ingestion of hydrogen peroxide.

Ingestion of acid-containing household products, either accidentally or as a suicide attempt, is a common form of intoxication. A clear and odorless liquid, hydrogen peroxide is an oxidizing agent found in most households and many industrial environments. Cardiovascular manifestations of hydrogen peroxide ingestion are extremely rare. Here we report a 60 year-old woman with acute inferolateral ...

Structural Findings in the Brain MRI of Patients with Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Background: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning may lead to hypoxic/anoxic injury and eventually ischemic encephalopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) has a well-recognized role in assessment of the severity of brain damage caused by CO poisoning. In this study, we aimed to present and analyze the structural abnormalities in the brain MRI and especially in diffusion weighted MRI (DWI) images in ...
