[Late sequelae of tetraethyl lead poisoning].

Abstract

In our previous study a tetraethyl lead poisoning due to a rural environmental exposure of four family members was described. A differently intensified OUN dysfunction dominated clinical picture. Cognition status and degree of OUN dysfunction was monitored using generally accepted neurobehavioral test battery. The tests applied were fitted individually to each poisoned family member in accordance to current intensification of symptoms. Basing on the neurobehavioral performance results a consecutive imagine techniques were introduced to full CNS evaluation of intoxicated patients. Results of neuropsychological monitoring in 12 months period were compared to brain CT, SPET 99mTc-ECD used to evaluation of regional brain perfusion disturbances, MRI and MRS and presented in the study.
