Neurological manifestation of carbon monoxide poisoning.

Hemorrhagic cerebral infarction in carbon monoxide poisoning: a case report

INTRODUCTION Almost every known central neurological syndrome has been reported as a complication of carbon monoxide poisoning. Hemorrhagic infarct has rarely been considered as an early manifestation of carbon monoxide poisoning. A case of cerebral hemorrhagic infarction is presented. Typical findings, neuropathology and the role of vascular injury are described. CASE PRESENTATION The sympto...

[Myocardial infarction after carbon monoxide poisoning].

Carbon monoxide (CO) exposure is a common cause of unintentional poisoning. 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...

Status epilepticus and cardiopulmonary arrest in a patient with carbon monoxide poisoning with full recovery after using a neuroprotective strategy: a case report

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Carbon monoxide poisoning can be associated with life-threatening complications, including significant and disabling cardiovascular and neurological sequelae. CASE PRESENTATION We report a case of carbon monoxide poisoning in a 25-year-old Saudi woman who presented to our facility with status epilepticus and cardiopulmonary arrest. Her carboxyhemoglobin level was 21...

End-tidal Carbon Dioxide Measurements in Unintentional Non-Fire-Related Carbon Monoxide Poisoning

Background: Poisoning with carbon monoxide occurs occasionally worldwide, and the gold diagnostic standard is to measure carboxyhemoglobin level in the blood. This study investigated the correlation between carboxyhemoglobin and the end-tidal carbon dioxide levels in 50 patients with carbon monoxide poisoning. Methods: We recruited 50 volunteer patients who had been admitted to the Emergency S...
