TY - JOUR PY - 1987// TI - Methanol intoxication in multiple trauma JO - American journal of emergency medicine A1 - Saxena, Kapil A1 - Lerud, K. A1 - Cicero, J. J. SP - 60 EP - 63 VL - 5 IS - 1 N2 - Management of inflicted or self-inflicted trauma to accomplish homicide or suicide is no novelty in the practice of medicine. However, it takes an astute clinician to recognize serious poisoning in the midst of life-threatening injuries. We describe two cases where homicide and suicide attempts were accompanied with the ingestion of methanol. Both patients recovered with proper management of the injuries as well as early recognition and treatment of the methanol poisoning.
