Organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy
Term · Chemistry · MLC-T-CHM-008324
A neurological disorder characterized by degeneration of axons and myelin in the peripheral and central nervous systems, occurring some days or weeks after exposure to certain organophosphate compounds. It results in motor weakness, ataxia, and sensory disturbances. This condition is distinct from acute cholinergic crisis caused by organophosphate poisoning.
