Abstract

We report a case of methanol intoxication in which the initial CT scans appeared normal. MR at 4 days showed the typical putaminal lesions of methanol intoxication and, in addition, peripheral white matter lesions that spared a thin rim of subcortical white matter. A CT scan at 17 days showed the putaminal and white matter lesions. The white matter lesions correspond well to lesions previously described in pathologic specimens.
