Abnormalities along the cortico-medullary junction on brain MRI caused by 1,2-dichloroethane-induced toxic encephalopathy
Our case highlights a special MRI finding-abnormalities along the cortico-medullary junction-that can be seen in 1,2-DCE-induced toxic encephalopathy. When confronted with patients with lesion located in the cortico-medullary junction and neuropsychiatric symptoms, our clinicians should not neglect the detailed inquiry of history of toxic exposure.
