Abstract
|
|
|
|
We describe a patient with metronidazole-induced reversible encephalopathy characterized by dizziness, dysar- thria and ataxia. Brain T2 weighted magnetic resonance images(MRI) show increased signal intensities of the dentate nucleus of the cerebellum. Both neurological signs and abnormalities on MRI resolved dramatically with discontinuation of metronidazole.
