Delayed encephalopathy after carbon monoxide intoxication--long-term prognosis and correlation of clinical manifestations and neuroimages.

In order to understand the correlation between the clinical and neuroimaging manifestations and the long-term prognosis in delayed encephalopathy after carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication, we retrospectively reviewed 12 patients who had delayed encephalopathy from 89 patients with CO intoxication.
