Abstract

The toxic-metabolic diseases present as a heterogeneous group of conditions that lead, by different pathophysiological ways, to acute or chronic central nervous system (CNS) dysfunctioning. This study aims to evaluate the MRI scans of the CNS in toxic-metabolic pathologies. In this work, we are going to gather images taken over the last 14 years in the radiology department of the Hospital of the University of Campinas. Together with the images there will be a detailed analysis of the patients' information with the recognition of the clinical features and laboratory data.
