Abstract

Ethylene glycol poisoning is very rare emergency, high clinical suspicion is required in the absence of any proper history. Rapid deterioration with severe metabolic acidosis, high anion gap, neurological complications and acute kidney injury are some of the key features to early diagnosis and treatment.
