Objective:
Characteristics of clinical, MRI and electroencephalogram after trimethyltin chloride (TMT) poisoning.
Methods:
The clinical manifestations, MRI, EEG, treatment and prognosis of 16 patients with TMT poisoning were analyzed retrospectively.
Results:
Among the 16 cases of TMT poisoning, 6 cases were severe poisoning, 4 cases were moderate poisoning, and 6 cases were mild poisoning. All patients had dizziness, headache, general fatigue, loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting and other general clinical symptoms. Six patients with severe poisoning had psychobehavioral abnormalities, including 4 patients with mania, delirium, ataxia, epileptic seizures. Glasgow was 15 points in mild and moderate poisoning. Of the 6 cases of severe poisoning, 4 cases of Glasgow were 9~11 points, and 2 cases of Glasgow were 13 points. 2 patients with severe poisoning had abnormal MRI in head, and the total abnormal rate was 12.50%. Toxic encephalopathy was considered in 1 case with abnormal signal of corpus callosum pressure, and patchy ischemic foci of left cerebral foot and mild cerebral atrophy in 1 case. The total abnormal rate of EEG was 56.25%. The abnormal rate of electroencephalogram in severe poisoning was 83.33%. There were 2 cases of severe abnormal electroencephalogram, 2 cases of moderate abnormal electroencephalogram and 1 case of slight abnormal electroencephalogram. Twelve patients were recovered and discharged from hospital. 4 cases of severe poisoning are still getting better, and there are still cerebellar ataxia symptoms such as dizziness and unstable walking.
Conclusion
In clinical work, attention should be paid to the identification of patients with mild and moderate TMT poisoning, and attention should be paid to the patients with severe TMT poisoning manifested by disturbance of consciousness. The positive rate of MRI test in TMT poisoning is low, and the lesion is nonspecific. Electroencephalogram test has a high positive rate in TMT poisoning, which can well reflect the degree of illness. Attention should be paid to the prevention and treatment of neurodegeneration caused by TMT poisoning.

Objective:
Clinical analysis of sequelae of 16 patients with trimethyltin chloride (TMT) poisoning after 2 years.
Methods:
Sixteen patients with TMT poisoning from a waste recycling company in Ganzhou City in August 2016 were enrolled. They were investigated by questionnaires and assessed by various scales after two years. 6 cases of severe poisoning were examined by head MRI. The scale includes Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAMA) , Depression Scale (HAMD) , Simple Mental State Examination Scale (MMSE) , Activity of Daily Living (ADL) , International Cooperative Ataxia Rating Scale (ICARS) .
Results:
16 cases of TMT poisoning still have headache, dizziness and other symptoms. Instability of walking in 4 patients with severe poisoning, and the brain MRI manifestations included obvious atrophy of temporal lobe, hippocampus, insula lobe, cerebellum and ventricle enlargement. Two patients were rated as severe mixed anxiety and depression, one as moderate mixed anxiety and depression, and one as mild anxiety. 3 cases were diagnosed as dementia and 1 case as mild cognitive impairment. Two cases were totally dependent on living ability. ICARS scores were 66 points and 63 points respectively. Two cases were mildly dependent on living ability. ICARS scores were 28 points and 6 points respectively. There were 2 cases of mild mixed anxiety and depression in mild and moderate poisoning patients, and 1 case of mild cognitive impairment in each patient. They could live independently. ICARS scores were 0.
Conclusion
After 2 years of TMT poisoning, some patients still have general clinical symptoms such as dizziness, headache and so on. There are also mental and intellectual symptoms such as anxiety, depression and cognitive impairment. Some of patients with severe poisoning presented with dementia and cerebellar ataxia, and even lost independent living ability.
