Metronidazole can produce neurological complications although it is not a common scenario. We present a case where a patient developed features of encephalopathy following prolonged metronidazole intake. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) brain showed abnormal signal intensity involving both dentate nuclei of cerebellum and splenium of corpus callosum. The diagnosis of metronidazole toxicity was made by the MRI findings and supported clinically.
甲硝唑虽不常引发神经并发症，但仍可导致。我们报告一例患者，长期服用甲硝唑后出现脑病症状。脑部磁共振成像（MRI）显示小脑齿状核及胼胝体压部信号强度异常。根据MRI表现作出甲硝唑中毒诊断，并得到临床支持。
