Cerebral computed tomography in methanol intoxication.
In four of six patients with methanol intoxication, computed tomography (CT) showed necrotic changes in the area of the putamina. Hemorrhages were also seen in some cases. There was a clear relationship between the severity of the clinical symptoms and the CT findings, indicating the potential of CT for prognosis and possible therapy guidance.
