Abstract

We report on a patient with delayed carbon monoxide encephalopathy who presented with severe cognitive impairment associated with MRI findings of extensive demyelination of the cerebral white matter after a silent period of three weeks from acute intoxication. Despite the severe signs of structural and functional cerebral impairment in the sub-acute stage, the clinical course was favorable but for residual mild dysfunction of the frontal lobes.
