Lead encephalopathy secondary to petrol inhalation
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 13 June 2014
Abstract
Lead encephalopathy is a relatively rare medical condition. It can present with multiple seizures, delirium, blindness, aphasia and dementia. Usually it is due to environmental exposure. This paper describes a case of delayed diagnosis of lead encephalopathy secondary to petrol sniffing which responded to chelating agents therapy. A high index of suspicion must be maintained to diagnose this treatable cause of encephalopathy.
