organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy , OPIDN (Abkürzung)

TCP is the cause of numerous poisonings and is a neurotoxin, in part via organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy.

The resulting type of paralysis is now referred to as organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy, or OPIDN.

Organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN) that has been explained by the inhibition of neuropathy target esterase.

Organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy- a paralysing syndrome with distal degeneration of long axons- results from poisoning with neuropathic organophosphorus compounds that irreversibly inhibit NTE.

Studies have suggested that exposure to some organophosphate pesticides can result in long-term neurological problems including organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy (weakness or paralysis as well as paresthesia in the extremities); however, reports of these symptoms following diazinon exposures are rare.

Organophosphate-induced delayed neuropathy (OPIDN), also called organophosphate-induced delayed polyneuropathy (OPIDP), is a neuropathy caused by killing of neurons in the central nervous system, especially in the spinal cord, as a result of acute or chronic organophosphate poisoning.
