TY - JOUR PY - 1994// TI - Psychiatric sequelae of organophosphorous poisoning: a case study and review of the literature JO - Behavioural neurology A1 - Bradwell, R. H. SP - 117 EP - 122 VL - 7 IS - 3 N2 - This is the case of a young farm worker presenting with episodes of acute organic psychosis superimposed on a state of chronic anergy and hypersomnia. It is suggested that he developed an encephalopathic illness presenting with an organic bipolar affective disorder as a result of organophosphate exposure. In proposing this aetiology, an hypothesis is developed which links clinical observations and investigative results with research findings in relation to organophosphorus compounds and neuropharmacology.
