Clin Case Rep. 2022 Apr 12;10(4):e05715. doi: 10.1002/ccr3.5715. eCollection 2022 Apr.

Abstract

Methanol poisoning is a challenging clinical situation with irreversible neurologic complication mainly encountered in developed countries. We report a case of a 50-year-old patient who presented with methanol poisoning, symptomatic of respiratory and neurologic failure. In this context, cerebral magnetic resonance imaging concluded entangled injury mechanisms leading to neurologic failure.

Keywords: case report; hemorrhagic necrosis; hypoxia; magnetic resonance imaging; methanol poisoning; white matter demyelination.
