  • Title: [Early Detection of Manganese Intoxication Based on Occupational History and T1-weighted MRI].
    Author: Fukutake T, Yano H, Kushida R, Sunada Y.
    Journal: Brain Nerve; 2016 Feb; 68(2):175-80. PubMed ID: 26873238.
    Abstract:
    Manganese regulates many enzymes and is essential for normal cell function. Chronic manganese intoxication has an insidious and progressive course terminating to atypical parkinsonism with little therapeutic efficacy. For subjects with chronic manganese exposure such as welders, manganese intoxication can be detected early based on the presence of hyperintensity in the globus pallidus on T(1)-weighted MRI and abnormally high urinary excretion of manganese with a chelating agent even in cases of normal serum/urine level of manganese.
