متن کاملSelective cerebellar degeneration following carbon monoxide poisoning.
Monoxide Poisoning Carbon monoxide (CO) is a toxic gas produced by the incomplete combustion of carbon-containing compounds. Until recently, coal contributed a significant portion of the fuel used for heating and cooking in Korea, and most cases of CO poisoning were due to defective exhaust tubes in old coal-heating facilities. To our knowledge, selective degeneration of the cerebellar cortex a...
