Abstract:
Massive methanol exposure can lead to severe and detrimental effects that can result in death or brain death. As organs from patients with brain death after methanol ingestion are less likely to be recovered, these patients have been considered marginal donors. We present a case of successful multiple organ transplantation (heart, lungs, and kidneys) from a methanol-poisoned patient. Our experience illustrates that donor death from methanol intoxication does not preclude organ transplantation.
