[Neuropathies following carbon monoxide poisoning]

According to the experiments carried out in animals, impairments of the peripheral nerves can, with a certain regularity, also be expected in patients in the presence of the respective high degree of carbon monoxide intoxications without clinical paralytic symptoms being detectable in every case. The changes in the motor nerve conduction velocity in our patients and in animal experiments are still found over a prolonged period of time after the acute intoxication.
