In recent years, quite a number of contributions to the literature have appeared describing the changes in the central nervous system which result from carbon monoxid poison. The most constant of all these pathologic findings is bilateral softening of the globus pallidus.

Starr,2Jelliffe and White,3Krantz,4Brissaud,5Lancereaux6and Glynn7have cited clinical cases of multiple neuritis secondary to carbon monoxid poisoning. Stewart1reported that the seventh and tenth nerves in a case of gas poisoning were intensely degenerated, this being especially true of the tenth. He did not examine nerves from the extremities.
