A 46-year-old male presented to the emergency room seven hours after consuming a large container of sterno. He could not see and complained of abdominal and back pain. He was tachypneic, tachycardic, hypertensive and hypothermic. Laboratory results were significant for a severe metabolic acidosis, a serum osmolality of 465 and serum methanol level of 493 mg/dl. Aggressive treatment included ethanol drip, bicarbonate and hemodialysis. He survived and regained his eyesight in spite of this degree of elevation of the serum methanol level. The literature does not reveal a similar report.
