    Abstract:
    A case of 49 years old woman with acute, severe suicidal carbofuran poisoning is described. The lowest activity of AChE was 0 IU/L. Because carbamates lead to multiorgan damages, especially affect central nervous system, computer tomography of the brain (CT) and examination of regional cerebral blood flow (99mTc-ECD SPECT) were done. No pathological changes were found in CT. 99mTc-ECD SPECT performed on 14th day of hospitalization, revealed disturbed regional cer- ' ebral flow generally in frontal and occipital lobes. Results of neuropsychological examination were pathological too.
