Abstract

Attempted suicide by cyanide poisoning causes rapid death by inhibition of cell-mediated oxidation. There are few cases of survival and most reports on the victims involve postmortem pathological studies. We present the case of a long-term survivor who developed parkinsonism, focusing especially on the contribution of neuroimaging to the diagnosis and follow-up.
