    Acute ethylene glycol poisoning, often accidental, can cause severe CNS and renal issues. Early ethanol treatment and supportive care improve survival, despite potential fatalities from brain damage or cardiorespiratory distress.

    Area of Science:

    • Toxicology
    • Emergency Medicine
    • Nephrology

    Context:

    • Presents a 7-year observational study of 13 acute ethylene glycol poisoning cases.
    • Highlights accidental poisonings, including unique desert survival scenarios.
    • Documents significant morbidity and mortality associated with ethylene glycol ingestion.

    Purpose:

    • To analyze clinical presentations, outcomes, and treatment strategies for acute ethylene glycol poisoning.
    • To identify key pathological findings, such as calcium oxalate crystals.
    • To emphasize the importance of timely intervention and symptomatic management.

    Summary:

    • Observed 13 cases of acute ethylene glycol poisoning with 4 fatalities, mostly accidental.
    • Commonly involved antifreeze ingestion, with notable CNS and acute renal failure.
