TY - JOUR PY - 2013// TI - Methadone-induced toxic brain damage JO - Case reports in radiology A1 - Corré, Jérôme A1 - Pillot, Jérôme A1 - Hilbert, Gilles SP - 602981 EP - 602981 VL - 2013 IS - N2 - A 29-year-old man presented with comatose after methadone intoxication. Cerebral tomography only showed cortico-subcortical hypodense signal in the right cerebellar hemisphere. Brain MRI showed a rare imaging of FLAIR and DWI hyperintensities in the two cerebellar hemispheres as well as basal ganglia (globi pallidi), compatible with methadone overdose. To our knowledge this is the first reported case of both cerebellar and basal ganglia involvement in methadone overdose.
