A 50 year old male with history of prolonged intake of metronidazole for treatment of liver abscess developed acute ataxia, disorientation, distal symmetrical sensory and proximal motor neuropathy. Patients being treated with metronidazole particularly those on high doses for prolonged period should be monitored for neurotoxicity.
