Abstract
Carbon monoxide (CO) poisoning can cause neurological complications such as movement disorders and cognitive impairment through hypoxic brain damage. Although peripheral neuropathy of the lower extremities is a known complication of CO poisoning, hemiplegia is very rare. In our case, a patient who developed left hemiplegia due to acute CO poisoning received early hyperbaric oxygen treatment (HBOT). The patient had left hemiplegia and anisocoria at the beginning of HBOT. Her Glasgow coma score was 8. A total of five sessions of HBOT at 243.2 kPa for 120 minutes were provided. At the end of the 5th session, the patient's hemiplegia and anisocoria were completely resolved. Her Glasgow coma score was 15. After nine months of follow-up, she continues to live independently with no sequelae, including delayed neurological sequelae. Clinicians should be aware that CO poisoning can (rarely) present with hemiplegia.
