Article Synopsis
- Organophosphate poisoning, specifically from chlorpyrifos, can lead to delayed neurological issues, including a rare form of pure motor neuropathy without sensory loss.
- A case study of a 15-year-old girl demonstrated cholinergic crisis after ingesting chlorpyrifos, with subsequent development of neurological symptoms like motor neuron signs and urinary incontinence weeks later.
- The study suggests that chronic neurotoxicity from OPs depends on multiple factors, and the resulting damage primarily affects motor functions, potentially leading to severe complications like myelopathy.
