    Computed tomography revealed unilateral abnormalities in a patient with lead encephalopathy, mimicking a cerebral tumor. This case highlights the importance of considering lead poisoning in differential diagnoses.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Radiology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Lead encephalopathy is a severe neurological disorder caused by lead poisoning.
    • Computed tomography (CT) is a crucial imaging modality for evaluating brain abnormalities.

    Observation:

    • A patient presented with clinical history suggestive of a cerebral tumor.
    • CT scans demonstrated predominantly unilateral abnormalities in the brain.

    Findings:

    • The observed CT findings in lead encephalopathy mimicked those of a cerebral tumor.
    • Unilateral brain abnormalities on CT can be a feature of lead encephalopathy.

    Implications:

    • This case underscores the necessity of including lead encephalopathy in the differential diagnosis for patients with unilateral brain lesions.
