Abstract
Extrapyramidal syndrome is an uncommon sequelae of acute organophosphorous (OP) poisoning. It is a manifestation of the intermediate syndrome described in OP poisoning. It may or may not be associated with neuroimaging changes in the striatum. We present a case of acute OP poisoning with interesting positive CT scan findings.
