Abstract:	We report a 4-year-old boy, in acute renal failure, who had acute encephalopathy with very high serum aluminium levels (135 g/l [5mol/l]) after receiving vesical irrigations with alum. We believe that in situations of non-focal neurological deterioration with no apparent cause in patients with impaired renal function receiving aluminium-containing preparations, the possibility of acute aluminium poisoning should be considered.

Keywords:	Aluminium poisoning Acute disease Neurological manifestations Kidney failure, acute Bladder irrigations
