Dr. M Gopinath, Dr Iv Nagesh

Abstract :

<p>Acute organophosphate (OP) poisoning is one of the most common poisonings in emergency medicine. A large number of fatalities are seen in routine clinical practice at all levels of medical care. The common final pathway is probably respiratory failure leading to development of anoxic encephalopathy. Clinical diagnosis of ain death is often challenging and imaging modalities will aid in unambiguous diagnosis in all cases.We present a case of OP poisoning with fatal outcome and correlate it with MRI findings in ain death.</p>
