Key result
Methyl bromide intoxication is linked to diffuse lesions in the splenium of the corpus callosum.
Why the study?
Imaging abnormalities of the splenium of the corpus callosum are uncommon and have not been described in patients with methyl bromide intoxication.
Case Report (n=2)
Methyl bromide intoxication can present with diffuse lesions in the splenium of the corpus callosum.
Methyl bromide intoxication may be associated with SCC lesions; extends the differential but leaves open causality and clinical relevance.
Imaging abnormalities of the splenium of the corpus callosum (SCC) are uncommon but have been described in various clinical conditions such as Marchiafava-Bignami disease, trauma, infectious diseases, acute disseminated encephalomyelitis, epilepsy, altitude sickness, hypoglycaemia, electrolyte abnormalities, leukodystrophy, and infarction, and following radiation therapy and chemotherapy.1 2 We have detected a diffuse lesion in the SCC of two patients withmethyl bromide intoxication

Kyung Tae Kang (2006) conducted a case report in Methyl bromide intoxication (n=2). Methyl bromide intoxication was evaluated on Diffuse lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum. Methyl bromide intoxication was associated with a diffuse lesion in the splenium of the corpus callosum in two patients.
