Reversible leukoencephalopathy caused by 2 rodenticides bromadiolone and fluroacetamide: A case report and literature review

RATIONALE: With the easy access, rodenticide poisoning has been a public health problem in many countries. Characteristics of central nervous system (CNS) lesions induced by rodenticides are scarcely reported. PATIENT CONCERNS: We presented a case of a 40-year-old man with seizure and consciousness disorder, coagulation dysfunction, and symmetric lesions in white matter and corpus callosum. DIAGNOSIS: He was diagnosed with rodenticide poisoning due to bromadiolone and fluoroacetamide. INTERVENTIONS: He was treated with vitamin K, hemoperfusion, acetamide, and calcium gluconate. OUTCOMES: His leukoencephalopathy was reversed rapidly with the improvement of clinical symptoms. LESSONS: This report presented the impact of rodenticide poisoning on CNS and the dynamic changes of brain lesions, and highlighted the importance of timely targeted treatments.
