Dichloromethane (dichloromethane sds) is commonly used as a solvent. Methylene chloride poisoning has been reported as a result of occupational exposure, and the common routes of methylene chloride poisoning are ingestion and inhalation.

We describe a 51-year-old man who received a subcutaneous injection of methylene chloride and developed localized wound necrosis in his forearm but normal carboxyl hemoglobin levels.

Discussion: The corrosiveness of dichloromethane causes the formation of venous thrombosis in its wounds, which may prevent the systemic absorption of dichloromethane, leading to a reduction in the liver's conversion of dichloromethane into carbon monoxide. Conclusion: Symptom management and monitoring of CO production are still the main treatments in patients with subcutaneous injection of methylene chloride.

Dichloromethane (a chlorinated hydrocarbon) is commonly used as a solvent. Methylene chloride poisoning has been reported as a result of occupational exposure, and the common routes of methylene chloride poisoning are ingestion and inhalation.

Dichloromethane (CH2Cl2) or dichloromethane is a halogenated aliphatic hydrocarbon compound. It is a colorless flammable liquid with a slight sweet taste. Dichloromethane is used as an ingredient in many products, such as household cleaners, paint removers, and deodorants. The liver is the main site of dichloromethane metabolism, producing carbon monoxide (CO) through cytochrome P-450 2E1 and glutathione-S transferase.
