    Computed tomography (CT) revealed necrotic changes in the putamina of most methanol intoxication patients. CT findings correlated with clinical severity, aiding prognosis and treatment guidance.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Methanol intoxication is a serious condition that can lead to severe neurological damage.
    • Early diagnosis and prognosis are crucial for effective management of methanol poisoning.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To investigate the utility of computed tomography (CT) in assessing neurological damage in methanol intoxication.
    • To explore the correlation between CT findings and clinical severity.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of computed tomography (CT) scans from six patients with confirmed methanol intoxication.
    • Clinical data, including neurological symptoms and severity, were correlated with imaging findings.

    Main Results:

    • CT scans revealed necrotic changes in the putamina in four out of six patients.

  • Hemorrhages in the brain were observed in some cases.
  • A significant correlation was found between the severity of clinical symptoms and the observed CT findings.

    • Conclusions:

    • Computed tomography (CT) is a valuable tool for detecting and characterizing brain lesions in methanol intoxication.
    • CT findings can serve as an indicator of prognosis in methanol poisoning.
    • CT imaging may guide therapeutic interventions in patients with methanol intoxication.
