Symptoms of pseudoalcoholic intoxication?

summary

Methanol mainly acts on nervous system, has obvious anesthetic effect, and can cause brain edema. The anesthetic concentration of methanol is close to that of LC, so it is dangerous. It has a special selective effect on the optic nerve and retina, which is easy to cause optic nerve atrophy and lead to blindness. Recent studies have shown that formaldehyde is metabolized into formic acid quickly. The metabolic acidosis and eye damage caused by acute poisoning are mainly related to the content of formic acid. Symptoms of pseudoalcoholic intoxication? Let's talk about it

Symptoms of pseudoalcoholic intoxication?

The main target organs of acute methanol poisoning are central nervous system, optic nerve and retina. The incubation period of inhalation poisoning is generally 1-72 hours, and there are also 96 hours; Most of the poisoning time was 8-36 hours; If you take alcohol at the same time, the incubation period is longer.

Central nervous system symptoms: patients often have dizziness, headache, vertigo, fatigue, faltering gait, insomnia, apathy, turbid consciousness, etc. Severe cases appeared hazy consciousness, coma and epileptic convulsions. Severe oral poisoning may have symptoms of extrapyramidal damage or Parkinson's syndrome. Head CT examination revealed symmetrical infarct necrosis of lenticular nucleus and subcortical central white matter. A few cases had mental symptoms such as paranoia, fear, mania, hallucination, depression and so on.

Eye symptoms: the initial performance of shadow, flash, blurred vision, eye pain, photophobia, diplopia, etc. In severe cases, visual acuity declines sharply, which can cause persistent blindness. Examination showed pupil dilation or narrowing, slow response to light or disappear, optic papilla edema, peripheral retinal congestion, hemorrhage, edema, late optic atrophy.

matters needing attention

Use honey to relieve alcohol: because honey contains a special component, which can promote the decomposition and absorption of alcohol, so it can relieve headache symptoms. Many people will have some headache after drinking red wine, so this method is the most effective.
