Abstract

Methanol is a toxic alcohol component found in various household and industrial products. Methanol poisoning is a clinical disease with high morbidity and mortality rates. Patients often present to the emergency department with complaints of depression of the central nervous system, visual impairment, stomach symptoms, vomiting, and nausea, but cardiovascular complications occur less frequently. Here, we describe a case of methanol poisoning in which an acute myocardial infarction and visual impairment were combined. © 2024 Ondokuz Mayis Universitesi. All rights reserved.
