Reversible metronidazole-induced cerebellar toxicity in a multiple transplant recipient. [JOURNAL ARTICLE]
J Neurol Sci 2009 Jun 26.
Metronidazole-induced central nervous system (CNS) toxicity causes a spectrum of neurological symptoms including ataxia, encephalopathy and peripheral neuropathy. It is associated with characteristic MRI changes of high signal intensity in the dentate nuclei. Given the increasing use of metronidazole, it is import to recognise this drug as a cause of ataxia, as it is entirely reversible on drug withdrawal.
