Popis:	Carbon monoxide poisoning is a common presentation in cold countries and usually occurs in the setting of use of improperly vented fuel devices and fireplaces. It is a rare occurrence in a tropical country like India but should always be considered when a comatose patient is found in a confined area with poor ventilation. Patients who recover the effects of acute toxicity may develop delayed neurological sequelae in the form of a broad spectrum of neurological deficits, cognitive impairments and affective disorders. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain typically shows involvement of the basal ganglia and cortical white matter.
