Figure 1 Schematic diagram of methanol metabolism. ADH: Alcohol dehydrogenase; FDH: Formaldehyde dehydrogenase.

Figure 2 Chest computed tomography. A: Diffuse exudation in the lungs; B: Exudation in the lungs was significantly cleared up. Imaging A and B were performed at an interval of approximate 3 h for excluding pulmonary embolism and aortic dissection.

Figure 3 Head computed tomography. A: On February 16, 2021 when the patient was in the Emergency Department, there was slight symmetrical decrease in density in the bilateral putamen but no sign of hemorrhage; B: On February 19 after the first course of continuous renal replacement therapy, there was an area of hemorrhage 1.5 cm × 0.5 cm in the left putamen (black arrows) and bilateral confluent symmetrical hypodensity in bilateral brain parenchyma (white arrows); C: On March 6, there was diffuse symmetric intracerebral hemorrhage (black arrows).
