Article Abstract
We present a 63-year-old man who developed multiple brain infarction after ingesting a 35%hydrogen peroxide solution.Neurologic examination revealed left hemiparesis,primarily affecting the lower limb,and mild weakness of the right lower limb.Cadolinium-enhanced MRI revealed patchy bilateral brain lesions.Oxygen gas embolization is the likely cause of the brain infarctions.
