Necrosis and haemorrhage of the putamen in methanol poisoning shown on MRI

K Kuteifan et al. Neuroradiology. 1998 Mar.

Abstract

Methanol, a highly toxic substance, is used as an industrial solvent and in automobile antifreeze. Acute methanol poisoning produces severe metabolic acidosis and serious neurologic sequelae. We describe a 50-year-old woman with accidental methanol intoxication who was in a vegetative state. MRI showed haemorrhagic necrosis of the putamina and oedema in the deep white matter.
