Abstract

The symptoms and clinical course of severe acute poisoning with carbon monoxide in 22-years-old man is described. To evaluate neurological sequelae, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) repeatedly was performed. In initial examination, at week 7 after intoxication, MRI showed bilateral abnormalities of the amygdaloid nucleus, caudate nucleus and in globus pallidus at right. Haemorrhagic lesion of internal capsule was shown 10 days later. In the next examinations regression in basal ganglia was observed, but slight atrophy of brain was stated. Neuropsychological examinations performed simultaneously, allowed to evaluate the dynamics of central nervous system disfunction.
