Acute triphenyltin intoxication can cause severe neurological symptoms, including ataxia and delayed sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Prompt medical attention is crucial for managing poisoning and promoting recovery from neurological damage.

Area of Science:

  • Toxicology
  • Neurology
  • Environmental Health

Background:

  • Triphenyltin compounds are organotins used industrially, posing environmental and health risks.
  • Acute poisoning can result from intentional or accidental exposure.

Observation:

  • A young male presented with gastrointestinal distress and severe neurological deficits after triphenyltin ingestion.
  • Symptoms included ataxia, dysmetria, nystagmus, blurred vision, and altered consciousness.

Findings:

  • Electrophysiological studies confirmed a delayed sensorimotor polyneuropathy characterized by axonal degeneration and demyelination.
  • Neurological recovery was observed following the resolution of altered consciousness.

Implications:
