Clinical manifestation usually involve central nervous and cardio-vascular systems as brain and heart are very sensitive to hypoxia. Myocardial infarction pathogenesis during CO intoxication is complex. Generalised tissue hypoxia and increased thrombotic tendency may play an important role. A case of ST-segment elevatio...

متن کاملSelective cerebellar degeneration following carbon monoxide poisoning.
Monoxide Poisoning Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing compounds. Until recently, coal contributed a significant portion of the fuel used for heating and cooking in Korea, and most cases of CO poisoning were due to defective exhaust tubes in old coal-heating facilities. To our knowledge, selective degeneration of the cerebellar cortex a...
