Abstract

Carbon monoxide poisoning is a major cause of death following attempted suicide and accidental exposures. Although clinical presentation depends on the duration and the intensity of exposure, the assessment of the severity of intoxication is difficult. A small percentage of patients who show complete initial recovery may develop delayed neurological deficits. Delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning is a rare and poor prognosis neurologic disorders and there is no specific treatment. We present a case with early onset of delayed encephalopathy after acute carbon monoxide poisoning with typical cranial imaging findings in a child with atypical history and clinical presentation.

Abstract

Karbon monoksit zehirlenmesi intihar girişimlerinin ve kaza ile maruz kalmaya bağlı ölümlerin önemli bir nedenidir. Klinik bulgular maruz kalma süresi ve yoğunluğuna bağlı olsa da, zehirlenme şiddetinin değerlendirilmesi zordur. Tam iyileşme gösteren hastaların küçük bir yüzdesinde gecikmiş nörolojik defisit gelişebilir. Akut karbon monoksit zehirlenmesi sonrasında gelişen gecikmiş ensefalopati nadir ve kötü prognozlu bir nörolojik bozukluktur ve spesifik bir tedavisi yoktur. Burada akut karbon monoksit zehirlenmesi sonrası erken başlangıçlı, tipik kraniyal görüntüleme bulguları ile birlikte atipik öykü ve klinikle gelen gecikmiş ensefalopatili bir olguyu sunuyoruz
