Core Tip
Core Tip: We describe a case of a 62-year-old man who drank liquor mixed with 45% methanol and 35% alcohol, and the serum methanol level was almost 2.6 times that of the recommended indication for hemodialysis even at 24 h after drinking. It was encouraging that his vital signs tended to be stable and methanol level dropped sharply at 48 h after hemodialysis and necessary life support treatment. Unfortunately, putamen hemorrhage occurred 16 d after the treatments and progressed to bilateral symmetric diffuse cerebral hemorrhage. His family gave up further treatment, and the patient died eventually.
