The Magnetic Resonance Imaging Appearances of the Brain in Acute Carbon Monoxide Poisoning
Clin Radiol 55:273-280, O'Donnell,P.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
The appearances of the brain following acute CO poisoning are varied, and have previously been the subject of case reports or small studies, most of which have addressed the delayed sequelae of this condition. This study, the first large series undertaken in the acute phase, confirms that, although the globus pallidus is the commonest site of abnormality in the brain, the effects of CO poisoning are widespread. The extent of damage correlates with clinical outcome, and therefore aids management and prognosis.
