“…Acute Lithium intoxication in rats has been shown to cause widespread vacuolization and spongiform changes in cerebellar white matter while Purkinje cells were spared. Moreover, vacuolization appeared reversible in rats when they were examined 15 days after Lithium injection (3, 6). Efficacy of Lithium treatment may depend on several variables including compound formulation, dosage, and delivery method, and therefore understanding the underlying mechanisms involved in Lithium’s neuroprotective effects will be a paramount next step in these ongoing studies (16).…”

“…These data suggest that the presence of high serum Lithium concentrations to emerge neurotoxic effects is not mandatory and that Lithium’s neurotoxicity mechanism seems to be multi-factorial. A likely association between Lithium toxicity and cerebellar degeneration has been suggested by neuropath logical studies (6). Sassi et al using magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and spectroscopy showed that total gray matter volumes were significantly increased in Lithium-treated patients compared to untreated patients and healthy individuals and concluded it might possibly reflect neurotrophic effects of Lithium (7).…”

“…Hierzu zählen beispielsweise der laterale Temporallappen [34] oder auch der Vermis cerebelli [35]. Eine Assoziation zwischen der Lithiumintoxikation und der Entwicklung einer Ataxie, verbunden mit Veränderungen der Strukturen im Kleinkirn sind aus Fallbeispielen bekannt [36,37].…”

“…Acute lithium intoxication is associated with neurological manifestations such as tremor, ataxia, dysarthria, seizures, and, in more severe cases, encephalopathy and coma. 2) Permanent neurologic sequelae may follow the acute toxicity reaction. Hemodialysis is effective for treating acute lithium toxicity.…”
