In this case report, we document a 54-year-old woman with total bilateral optic nerve atrophy after local application of methanol containing spirit. Almost all the reported cases of methanol intoxication in the literature are caused by oral ingestion. In this rare case, we present transdermal absorption of methanol that may cause irreversible blindness in addition to intracerebral lesions.
在本病例报告中,我们记录了一名54岁女性,在局部应用含甲醇的酒精后出现双侧视神经完全萎缩。文献中几乎所有报道的甲醇中毒病例都是由口服摄入引起的。在这个罕见的病例中,我们展示了甲醇的经皮吸收,除了引起脑内病变外,还可能导致不可逆的失明。
