Eighteen children with normal skin were accidentally intoxicated by a talc powder containing 6% hexachlorophane. Four died and two remained paraplegic. The clinical picture was intracranial hypertension, eight patients developing signs of spinal cord damage. The condition seemed to result from massive intramyelinic oedema. In the spinal cord vascular disturbances may occur as mechanical complications of oedema, giving rise to permanent sequelae.
18名皮肤正常的儿童意外中毒，中毒物质为一种含有6%六氯酚的滑石粉。4名儿童死亡，2名儿童仍截瘫。临床表现为颅内高压，8名患者出现脊髓损伤体征。这种情况似乎是由大量髓鞘内水肿导致的。在脊髓中，血管紊乱可能作为水肿的机械并发症出现，从而导致永久性后遗症。
