Toxic brain injury with nitrobenzene poisoning

Abstract: 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.

“…Brain MRI showed FLAIR hyperintensities in the splenium of corpus callosum and dentate nuclei as well as corticospinal tracts. [ 3 ] Our patient had similar findings on MRI consistent with toxic encephalopathy due to nitrobenzene. Interestingly our patient also showed involvement of substantia nigra, which has not been described in previous literature.…”

“…The resultant effect is hypoxic tissue injury despite a normal PaO 2 . This causes severe lactic acidosis from the metabolic switch to anaerobic respiration, hypoxic liver injury as evidenced by increased liver enzymes, hypoxic encephalopathic changes which may be irreversible and acute kidney injury [ 1 , 7 ].…”

“…Compostos nitroaromáticos são amplamente tóxicos e mutagênicos, sendo a maioria suspeitos ou já estabelecidos como carcinogênicos (KUMAR et al, 2017;BILAL et al, 2021); considerados como poluentes prioritários por muitos países (ZHANG; ZHANG, 2015). Entretanto, tais compostos são amplamente utilizados na agricultura, indústria farmacêutica, indústria têxtil, como os compostos nitro fenólicos presentes em corantes orgânicos, etc.…”

“…De modo geral, compostos nitroaromáticos são amplamente tóxicos e mutagênicos, sendo considerados carcinogênicos (TIWARI et al, 2019); pois as mesmas propriedades que permitem que os compostos nitroaromáticos sejam úteis em aplicações químicas, também os fazem serem nocivos à saúde tanto de humanos, quanto de animais. Em suma, as moléculas nitroaromáticas interagem com as fitas de DNA, desestabilizando-as e provocando a ocorrência de mutações pontuais ou extensivas, gerando inúmeros danos a maquinaria celular, que em casos extremos podem inclusive inviabilizar a sobrevivência do indivíduo (KUMAR et al, 2017;HAO et al, 2020).…”
