Manganese (Mn) is an essential element used in many industries, such as welding, foundries, the production of metal alloys, especially stainless steel, and the production of dry batteries, pesticides, paints, and explosives. Individuals are exposed to Mn through inhalation of fumes, dermal absorption, and ingestion. This metal is an essential trace element required for normal growth, development, and cellular homeostasis. It has also toxic effects on the central nervous system and can cause Parkinsonism symptoms in exposed patients. Studies on human and animal models reveal that neurons of the globus pallidus, the cerebellum, pons, red nucleus, the thalamus, cortex, and the anterior horn of the spinal cord could be affected by Mn toxicity. Although the diagnosis of manganese-induced Parkinsonism is primarily clinical, there are some supporting features on brain MRI images that may be helpful to objectively distinguish it. This study was designed to review the ways of exposure to Mn, clinical symptoms in case of exposure, and discover the relationship between exposure to Mn and Parkinsonism in the working population.
