title: [Computed tomography in methanol intoxication].
abstract: We had the opportunity to follow a methanol intoxication case with CT scans, at the 1st and 6th day after admission. Symmetrical putaminal and white matter lesions were seen on the last CT examination, and occurred with the worsening of neurological manifestations, despite the appropriated treatment. The CT demonstration of brains lesions disclosed the toxic effect of the methanol and could be a guideline to the neurological prognosis.
