- Abstract
- "Mercury poisoning affects various organs including peripheral and central nervous systems, especially cerebellum. We report a case
of mercury intoxication presenting cerebellar ataxia. From several days after exposure to mercury vapor, scanning speech, head titu-bation,
bilateral limb and truncal ataxia developed and progressed slowly. On admission, brain MRI did not show remarkable change.
However, nine months later, atrophic changes in both cerebellar hemispheres on follow-up brain MRI and perfusion defects in same
areas on brain SPECT were found.
Key Words : Mercury, Poisoning, Ataxia"
