ABSTRACT
OBJECTIVE:
To evaluate the findings of brain MRI in patients with carbon disulfide poisoning. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Ninety-one patients who had suffered carbon disulfide poisoning [malefemale=874; age, 32-74 (mean 53.3) years] were included in this study. To determine the extent of white matter hyperintensity (Grade 0-V) and lacunar infarction, T2-weighted MR imaging of the brain was performed.RESULTS:
T2-weighted images depicted white matter hyperintensity in 70 patients (76.9%) and lacunar infarcts in 27 (29.7%).CONCLUSION:
In these patients, the prevalent findings at T2-weighted MR imaging of the brain were white matter hyperintensity and lacunar infarcts. Disturbance of the cardiovascular system by carbon disulfide might account for these results.
