What Researchers Did
Researchers reported on a single patient who developed a space-occupying cerebellar infarction and occlusive hydrocephalus following carbon monoxide poisoning with suicidal intent.
What They Found
The patient, who suffered carbon monoxide poisoning, developed a space-occupying cerebellar infarction and occlusive hydrocephalus. Early detection of these intracerebral lesions and subsequent neurosurgical and intensive care therapy led to the patient's survival without severe neurological deficits.
Canadian Relevance
This study has no direct Canadian connection as it is a case report from a non-Canadian institution.
Study Limitations
