This report documents a case of intravascular lymphoma (IVL) with increased regional cerebral blood flow (rCBF) disclosed at I-123 IMP single-photon emission CT (IMP-SPECT). A 73-year-old woman with IVL had high rCBF disclosed by IMP-SPECT before chemotherapy; rCBF was normal after one course of CHOP (cyclophophamide, vincristine, doxorubicin, and prednisone) chemotherapy. During her clinical course, she had an episode in which she showed increased rCBF in the left cerebral hemisphere at IMP-SPECT performed immediately after the recovery from the right hemiparesis.

Department of Emergency Medicine, the First Affiliated Hospital, School of Medicine, Zhejiang University, Hangzhou 310003, China.
Article Synopsis
- Copper sulfate is commonly used in labs, with rare cases of poisoning; only 140 exposures were reported in a year, and five were intentional (Gummin et al., 2023).
- Severe copper sulfate poisoning can lead to gastrointestinal injury, hemolysis, and muscle damage, but no long-term hyperglycemia has been previously reported.
- This case study examines the treatment of a patient who ingested a large dose of copper sulfate, resulting in prolonged uncontrolled hyperglycemia and multiple organ dysfunction, stressing the need for careful monitoring and management post-poisoning.
