Toxic and acquired metabolic encephalopathies: MRI appearance.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: The differential diagnosis of patients presenting with acute encephalopathy is broad. Imaging can help in narrowing the differential in many cases. We pictorially review the more classic MRI features of several acute toxic and acquired ... Read more...

Elevated serum S100B protein and neuron-specific enolase levels in carbon monoxide poisoning.

30 Aug 2009 OBJECTIVE: Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning causes cerebral and generalized hypoxia. This study aimed to assess the possible use of serum glial marker S100B protein and neuron-specific enolase (NSE) as biochemical markers of hypoxic brain damage in ... Read more...

Recovery of cognitive dysfunction in a case of delayed encephalopathy of carbon monoxide poisoning after treatment with donepezil hydrochloride.

29 Jun 2009 Delayed encephalopathy following carbon monoxide poisoning is a serious complication. Here, we report a patient with delayed encephalopathy who suffered from cognitive disorders and urinary incontinence after a temporal normal period of 15 days ... Read more...
