Methanol is a clear, colorless, and highly toxic liquid with a similar smell and taste to ethanol, and is found in many commercial products such as solvents and cleaning fluids. Severe methanol intoxication occurs after suicidal or accidental oral ingestion of solvents. A few patients with methanol intoxication via the transdermal route have been reported. We present a 47-year-old woman with acute transdermal methanol intoxication admitted to the emergency department with weakness, blurred vision, bilateral areactive mydriasis, and deterioration of consciousness.

D001930 Brain Injuries Acute and chronic (see also BRAIN INJURIES, CHRONIC) injuries to the brain, including the cerebral hemispheres, CEREBELLUM, and BRAIN STEM. Clinical manifestations depend on the nature of injury. Diffuse trauma to the brain is frequently associated with DIFFUSE AXONAL INJURY or COMA, POST-TRAUMATIC. Localized injuries may be associated with NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; HEMIPARESIS, or other focal neurologic deficits.
