“…In our case, however, only hyperdense changes were documented, at one week, which were consistent with deep bleeding. In a previous report 8 , an association has been postulated between th erapeutic dialysis and intracranial hemorrhage found on CT scan. Such association would be supported by the present findings.…”

A case of acute methanol intoxication is presented, in which bilateral putaminal hemorrhage developed after hemodialysis. Even though the patient was initially comatose and profoundly acidotic, favorable outcome was achieved, with long-term neurologic impairments essentially restricted to mild crural paraparesis, retrograde amnesia, and marked visual deficit. A comparative literature review is evaluated.

“…37,38 Furthermore, formic acid has been hypothesized to cause optic nerve damage at the level of the mitochondrion in patients with toxic methanol ingestions. [39][40][41] Features Several authors have described long-term sequelae with Parkinsonian symptoms in patients following toxic methanol ingestions. McLean et al 38 reported two survivors of severe methanol poisoning who developed (in addition to blindness), a Parkinsonian-like extrapyramidal syndrome.…”

“…Haemorrhage is reported in approximately 7-14% of cases [61][62][63] and is associated with a poor prognosis. On CT, bilateral putaminal hyperdensities (petechial haemorrhage) or hypodensities (due to oedema alone) with surrounding poorly delineated oedema can be seen that may change to cystic necroses in the chronic stage (Fig.…”

Alcohol-induced changes in the brain as assessed by MRI and CT

This review provides an overview of structural magnetic resonance imaging and computed tomography findings of direct and indirect alcohol-related toxic effects on the brain. In addition to ethanol-related changes to the brain, this article will also describe imaging findings in the acute setting of methanol and ethylene glycol poisoning. Alcohol will lead to brain atrophy, osmotic myelinolysis, Marchiafava-Bignami disease and, especially when related to malnutrition, may also cause Wernicke encephalopathy. Brain atrophy can be reversible if alcohol abuse is stopped. If not treated, Wernicke encephalopathy can lead to coma and death and an early diagnosis is important for immediate initiation of thiamine substitution. As clinical symptoms are often unspecific, the radiologist plays an important role in the detection of alcohol abuse and its related clinical conditions.
