"T1: low signal"
"T2/FLAIR: high signal"
"T1 C+ (Gd): usually minimal or absent contrast enhancement"
"DWI/ADC: diffusion restriction"
"the features of the muscarinic syndrome are helpfully summarised by the popular mnemonic 'SLUDGEM-BBB': salivation, lacrimation, urination, diarrhoea, gastric cramps, emesis, miosis, bronchorrhoea, bronchospasm, bradycardia 2"
"With chronic exposure to low-dose organophosphates, the chronic organophosphate-induced neuropsychiatric disorder may manifest 4. This is characterised by fatigue, memory impairment, extrapyramidal symptoms, autonomic dysfunction, and peripheral neuropathy 4. Interestingly, cholinergic symptoms of a muscarinic syndrome are not a feature of chronic low-dose exposure 4."

"Imaging is generally only remarkable in the brain (the focus of this section); however, some patients may also develop chemical aspiration pneumonitis, which may produce findings on chest imaging 7. Generally, brain imaging findings become apparent only during the intermediate syndrome and are reversible within weeks."
"Similar to CT, symmetric and bilateral involvement of the basal ganglia may be appreciated on MRI brain during the intermediate syndrome 3,6. In particular, the putamen and caudate nuclei are predominantly affected 3,6. Signal characteristics include 3,6:"
"There is no treatment for the intermediate syndrome or organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy, and patients with those manifestations should be managed symptomatically 2,4."
