Abstract
- Despite of the improved water purification system, the decreased use of aluminum based phosphate binding gels and periodic determination of serum aluminum levels, aluminum accumulation cannot be eliminated. We experienced a case of acute encephalopathy in aluminum intoxication with subdural hematoma presenting myoclonic jerk and mental change in a end stage renal failure. She was treated succesfully with low dose DFO treatment for 3 month.
