Neuropsychiatric manifestations following acute organophosphate poisoning

Abstract

Acute muscarinic and nicotinic side effects of organophosphate (OP) poisoning are well known and easily recognized, but neuropsychiatric changes are rarely reported. We are reporting a case of a 22-year-old male who developed psychotic features and motor neuropathy following acute OP poisoning.
