Delayed neurological sequelae (DNS) caused by carbon monoxide (CO) intoxication poses considerable treatment challenges for clinical practitioners. In this report, we used nuclear medicine imaging and the Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) to evaluate the effectiveness of intravascular laser irradiation of blood (ILIB) therapy for the management of DNS.
