Abstract

Introduction: The incidence of organophosphate poisoning is very common in developing countries like india. As suicidal or accidental ingestion of organophosphorous poisoning case are seen in emergency department. And we also face some neurological manifestations like neuropathy and myelopathy in follow up of these patients.

Case Presentation: A Female patient of 28 years ingest organophosphate accidently. Managed conservatively in icu on ventilator and discharge. But in follow up after 10 days of discharge after recovery from organophosphorous poisoning had power in upper limb 5/5 and in lower limb 3/5. Deep tendon reflexes were exaggerated while bilateral plantar reflex is extensor. MRI shows long segment linear area of signal intensity alterations within the cord in ventral aspects extending from C3 to D5 levels. On nerve conduction velocity also shows abnormal pattern. So we manifestated myelopathy And neuropathy like neurological manifestations.

Conclusions: We observe neurological manifestations in follow up of the Patient which were admitted in intensive care as a case of organophosphate poisoning.
