Abstract:
Cutaneous absorption of methylene chloride is rarely toxic. This case shows that it can lead to carboxyhemoglobinemia. Exposure to methylene chloride should warrant a carboxyhemoglobin check and oxygen support. Adequate decontamination and monitoring for symptoms in patients with greater cutaneous exposure due to persistent risks for toxicity are warranted.
