Acute carbon monoxide poisoning resulted in isolated cerebellar damage and secondary cerebellar atrophy

چکیده
During the procedure of carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning, the craniocerebral injury mainly locates in the bilateral cerebral subcortical white matter, globus pallidus, or internal capsule; therefore, CO poisoning-resulted isolated large-area cerebellar damage and secondary extensive cerebellar atrophy is extremely rare. This study reported the clinical symptoms, signs, imaging features, diagnosis and treatment processes, and prognosis of one case of acute CO poisoning-resulted specific cerebellar damage.

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...

BACKGROUND Patients with acute carbon monoxide poisoning commonly have cognitive sequelae. We conducted a double-blind, randomized trial to evaluate the effect of hyperbaric-oxygen treatment on such cognitive sequelae. METHODS We randomly assigned patients with symptomatic acute carbon monoxide poisoning in equal proportions to three chamber sessions within a 24-hour period, consisting of eit...
