A case of methanol poisoning leading to prolonged respirator dependency with consequent blindness and irreversible brain damage

BACKGROUND: Methanol is a colorless and poisonous liquid that is commonly used as an industrial and household solvent. Methanol poisoning is a rare but extremely hazardous form of in toxication that affects the central nervous system and causes visual disorder, drowsiness, seizures and coma. CASE PR...

description BACKGROUND: Methanol is a colorless and poisonous liquid that is commonly used as an industrial and household solvent. Methanol poisoning is a rare but extremely hazardous form of in toxication that affects the central nervous system and causes visual disorder, drowsiness, seizures and coma. CASE PRESENTATION: A 29-years-old man with methanol intoxication presented with drowsiness and acidosis with subsequent brain hemorrhage requiring prolong mechanical ventilation resulted in persistent visual impairment and disequilibrium. CONCLUSION: Prolonged mechanical ventilation in patients with methanol intoxication may be assouated with irreversible brain damage.
