This is an example of carbon monoxide poisoning.
0:03
These are images of a 49-year-old male who is
0:06
found in his camper, minimally responsive
0:08
next to a charcoal grill.
0:10
So, the concern was carbon monoxide poisoning.
0:13
These are the diffusion-weighted images and ADC Maps.
0:16
The cerebellum looks normal,
0:19
temporal lobes, frontal lobes look normal,
0:21
but as we get to the basal ganglia,
0:22
you can see restricted diffusion characterized
0:25
by hyperintensity on the diffusion-weighted
0:27
images and hypo-intensity on the ADC maps
0:30
in the bilateral Globus pallidus.
0:34
Rest of the brain looks normal,
0:36
except there are tiny foci of restricted
0:38
diffusion peripherally,
0:39
but given that he was exposed to carbon monoxide,
0:42
which again replaces oxygen
0:46
on the hemoglobin molecule so that you get hypoxic.
0:49
These findings are consistent with
0:51
early carbon monoxide poisoning.
0:52
When it gets more severe, it will involve the
0:54
rest of the deep gray nuclei and cortex.
0:56
We can also see these findings on the FLAIR
1:00
and T2-weighted images,
1:01
where they are characterized by hyperintensity
1:03
in the bilateral Globus Pallidus.
