What is Long-term neuropsychological effects and MRI findings in patients with CS~2~ poisoning: Long-term neuropsychological effects and MRI findings about?

## Objectives: To evaluate the long-term neuropsychological effects and magnetic resonance imaging (mri) findings among retired patients with a history of exposure to carbon disulfide (cs2). ## Material and methods: Seventy-four patients with a history of exposure to cs2 were divided into two equal groups according to their level of exposure, and they completed a questionnaire and were evaluated for neuropsychological symptoms using the korean version of the revised wechsler adult intelligence scale. thirty-one mri images were reviewed retrospectively. ## Results: There were no statistically significant differences in total, verbal and performance iqs between high- and low-exposure groups. mri findings revealed a significantly larger number of cerebral lacunae (five of 12 subjects) in the high-exposure group. periventricular hyperintensities were mostly located in frontal and occipital areas, and white-matter hyperintensities were mostly in frontal and parietal areas. ## Conclusion: The higher prevalence of lacunae in the high-exposure group as revealed by mri suggests that further mri studies are needed into long-term neuropsychological effects induced by cs2.
