Organophosphate induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP) is a rare condition causing nerve damage after insecticide exposure. A case study highlights a teen

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Toxicology
  • Clinical Case Study

Background:

  • Organophosphate induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP) is a rare sensory-motor distal axonopathy.
  • It typically follows ingestion of specific organophosphate insecticides, presenting with distal lower limb paresis and sensory symptoms.
  • Electrodiagnostic studies often reveal a motor axonal neuropathy.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To report a case of OPIDP in a pediatric patient.
  • To describe the clinical presentation and electrophysiological findings.
  • To discuss the management and outcome of OPIDP.

Main Methods:

  • A case report of a 14-year-old girl with accidental organophosphate poisoning.
  • Clinical assessment including neurological examination.

  • Electrophysiological studies to evaluate nerve function.

    • Main Results:

    • The patient developed cramping calf pain and lower limb paresis 6 weeks post-poisoning, followed by hand weakness.
    • Electrophysiological studies confirmed an axonal polyneuropathy.
    • The patient showed improvement with oral multivitamin therapy and physiotherapy.

    Conclusions:

    • OPIDP can occur in adolescents following organophosphate exposure.
    • Prompt electrophysiological assessment is crucial for diagnosis.
    • Multivitamin therapy and physiotherapy may aid in recovery from OPIDP.
