Metil Alkol İntoksikasyonunda Beyin Manyetik Rezonans Görüntüleme Bulguları: Olgu Sunumu

Abstract

Metil alkol toksik bir sıvı olup, endüstride antifriz, boya, cila gibi birçok ürünün yapısında bulunur. Toksik doz 20-250 ml olup beyin ve beyin sapı ödemi, putaminal nekroz gibi zehirlenme belirti ve bulguları en erken 12-24 saat sonra ortaya çıkar. Bu yazıda, manyetik rezonans görüntüleme yöntemiyle metil alkol intoksikasyonuna bağlı nadir görülen bazal gangliyonlarda kanama saptanan bir olgu sunulmaktadır.

Brain Magnetic Resonance Findings İn Methyl Alchol İntoxication: A Case Report

Abstract

Methyl alcohol is a toxic liquid that is a present in industrial paint, polish and many other products. Its toxic dose is between 20-250 ml and intoxication sings andsymptoms as brain and brainstem edema and necrosis in putamen are observed early in 12-24 hours. In this article, we present a case report of a patient with a infrequint finding of hemorrhage in the basal gangliae in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) due to methyl alcohol intoxication.

Keywords

• Methyl alcohol, intoxication, magnetic resonance imaging, basal gangliae
