N2  - OBJECTIVE: To study the clinical manifestations, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) findings, and prognosis of delayed encephalopathy after carbon monoxide poisoning  (DEACMP). <br><br>METHODS: The medical records of 20 patients with DEACMP were  retrospectively reviewed. All the patients received hyperbaric oxygen treatment and  other treatments as necessary. <br><br>RESULTS: The patients had diverse clinical  manifestations, including memory deficits, personality changes, cognitive or  executive function deficits, mood disorders, Parkinsonism, dystonia or other motor  impairments, and akinetic mutism. MRI revealed lesions in the bilateral cerebral  white matter and/or basal ganglia. Except for the pathologically confirmed DEACMP,  epileptic seizure, hemiplegia, and vegetative state, the remaining symptoms had been  improved, especially the cognitive impairment, which had been decreased from 95% to  25% and psychiatric symptoms also decreased from 95% to 55% at the 6-month  follow-up. <br><br>CONCLUSIONS: The prognosis of patients with DEACMP was poor, and they had  a relatively severe disability. The early use of hyperbaric oxygen is of great  significance to improve clinical efficacy and get a better prognosis.<p />  <p>Language: en</p>
