Hippocampi and midbrain lesions in carbon monoxide intoxication: a rare case report

This case highlights the importance of serial neuroimaging in CO poisoning, as delayed midbrain lesions may occur more frequently than previously thought, even in the absence of overt neurological symptoms. The patient's cognitive recovery and lack of parkinsonism suggests that early intervention with HBOT may help mitigate the long-term consequences of CO-induced brain injury.
