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. | | Language | ENG | | Pub Type(s) | JOURNAL ARTICLE
