Abstract
We report the MR and CT findings with pathologic correlation in a case of severe methanol intoxication. There was bilateral hemorrhagic necr osis of the putamen and caudate nuclei and, in addition, extensive sub cortical necrosis and symmetric bilateral necrosis of the pontine tegm entum and optic nerves, which may indicate poor prognosis.
