GARCIA, Ángel Alberto; AGIAR, Leonar G e GRANADA, Juliana. Brain death secondary to methanol poisoning. Acta Med Colomb [online]. 2012, vol.37, n.4, pp.211-214. ISSN 0120-2448.
Methyl alcohol poisoning is rare and may be secondary to suicide attempts, accidents and is also caused by endemic poisonings. It has severe consequences including death secondary to degradation products of methyl alcohol by alcohol dehydrogenase. We present a case of methyl alcohol poisoning that presented neurological alterations and death. (Acta Med Colomb 2012; 37: 211-214).
