Abstract
- Two cases of myoclonic encephalopathy due to bismuth salts intoxication are reported. In both, treatment with dimercaprol led to clinical recovery. This therapy was shown to enhance bismuth clearance. We also present data on the CSF metabolites dopamine, norepinephrine and serotonin of one patient.
