Organophosphorus (Chlorpyrifos) Toxicity Causing Delayed Induced Neuropathy and Myelopathy - Rare Case Report
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Organophosphate (OP) poisoning is the most common poisoning in India, accounting for almost half of the hospital admissions due to poisoning. Delayed neuropathy is initiated by an attack on a nervous tissue esterase. Although uncommon, delayed neurotoxicity has been consistently reported in literature. This mechanism is implicated not only in damaging peripheral nervous system but also in causing central processes leading to myelopathy. We report a case report of 35year old male who came to our hospital with delayed neurological manifestations of organophosphorus poisoning, which came out to be OP-induced neuropathy and myelopathy after detailed analysis and evaluation
