Ticdisorder was successfully treated with haloperidol. Thirty-three months after CO poisoning, the patient was asymptomatic and MRI revealed atrophy in caudate nucleus and putamen. The mechanism of ticdisorder in CO intoxication is discussed.[em-consulte.com]

Although anecdotal case reports have shown a good prognosis after induced hypothermia in patients with severe acute CO poisoning, the current clinical indications of induced hypothermia have not included acute CO poisoning [ 9, 10 ].[ceemjournal.org]
Prognosis Slowly progressive with a mean duration of fifteen years. Severity, however, varies widely. It follows a relatively benign course in some patients, who may show little disability after twenty years.[patient.info]

Pathophysiology of CO intoxication is complex. CO reacts readily and reversibly with hemoglobin that results in carboxyhemoglobin (CO-Hb). CO-Hb interferes with the transport of oxygen from alveoli to tissues.[em-consulte.com]
Perivascular and neuronal injuries arise by mechanisms other than hypoxia.(1,2) Neuropathology is due to a complex cascade of biochemical events involving several pathophysiologic processes,(3-10) some independent of pure hypoxic stress(11-13).[uhms.org]
