In this article, we presented the chronic neurological findings of an acute case of methanol intoxication due to the use of homemade alcohol. In the neurological examination performed 6 months after intoxication, bilateral vision loss, tremor, dysarthria, dysphagia, loss of taste sensation, and decrease in the Cognitive State Test score were detected. Peripheral polyneuropathy consistent with axonopathy was detected in the peripheral nerve conduction study, and optical neuropathy was detected in the examination of the pattern visual evoked potential. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed findings compatible with bilateral putaminal necrosis.
