“…Recently, a case of a 67-year-old female patient was reported with similar changes in the brain after massive nitrobenzene ingestion. [ 10 ] The MRI in our case did not show changes related to brain hypoxia but direct toxic injury due to nitrobenzene ingestion.…”

Acute methemoglobinemia secondary to nitrobenzene ingestion is a rare but well-known clinical entity. It is extremely important to identify such patients as rapid and effective management with methylene blue and other supportive measures will often save these lives. We present a rare and unfortunate case of a girl who developed acute toxic brain injury following nitrobenzene ingestion and succumbed.

“…However, some studies suggested that CT and MRI reveal targeted brain lesions rather than hypoxic encephalopathy. Moreover, toxic encephalopathy occurs more in the cerebellum and brainstem, and most of the lesion sites are symmetrically distributed ( 8 ). However, other sites cannot be excluded.…”

Nitrobenzene poisoning is uncommon, with most cases occurring in the dye, paint, and other chemical industries. Nitrobenzene enters the body mainly through the skin, respiratory tract, and oral cavity. Nitrobenzene poisoning symptoms include hypermethemoglobinemia, hemolytic anemia, liver and kidney dysfunction, cardiogenic pulmonary edema, and toxic encephalopathy, which endanger people’s lives. Therefore, we present a case of nitrobenzene poisoning caused by skin absorption, focusing on its clinical characteristics and treatment outcomes. A 58 years-old man presented to our department with confusion and cyanosis. He has a history of hypertension and cerebral infarction. The patient was diagnosed with moderate occupational acute benzene poisoning with nitro compounds. Symptomatic support, methylene blue, and other antioxidant treatments were commenced after diagnosis. After treatment, the patient’s condition gradually improved, and he was discharged.

“…Boukobza M, et al . [ 2 ] in 2015, first described the characteristic MRI features of nitrobenzene poisoning. The patient after consuming nitrobenzene had developed extrapyramidal features with ataxia and brain MRI showed T2 hyperintensities of the dorsal medulla, dorsal pons, periaqueductal grey matter, red nuclei, cerebellar dentate nuclei, internal capsule, corpus callosum, and in the centrum semiovale.…”
