Abstract

Hydrogen sulfide inhibits mitochondrial cytochrome c oxidase, thereby causing tissue bioenergetic failure and respiratory paralysis. Brain injury that resembles hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy may thus ensue. Therapeutic hypothermia seems capable of reducing the severity of hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy in ventricular arrhythmia induced cardiac arrest patients. We report a case of hydrogen sulfide poisoning who developed central nervous system manifestations but was successfully treated with therapeutic hypothermia.
