Abstract:
Unilateral low attenuation areas within the right putamen, globus pallidus and thalamus were observed on CT in a patient after exposure to carbon monoxide. A transient bilateral appearance was found on subsequent CT examinations. Hemorrhagic infarction of the right putamen, and ischemic lesions in both thalami were visualized on MRI 2 weeks later.
