Abstract
|
|
|
|
| We report the case of a 35-year-old man presenting with a delayed and prolonged coma due to an intentional overdose with disulfiram without simultaneous alcohol ingestion. The clinical features--comprising a severe toxic encephalopathy with coma and convulsions, in combination with a quadriparesis outlasting the loss of consciousness--are summarized, and the physiopathology is reviewed. |
