Ethambutol is known to cause optic neuropathy and, more rarely, axonal polyneuropathy. We characterize the clinical, neurophysiological, and neuroimaging findings in a 72-year-old man who developed visual loss and paresthesias after 11 weeks of exposure to a supratherapeutic dose of ethambutol. This case demonstrates the selective vulnerability of the anterior visual pathways and peripheral nerves to ethambutol toxicity.
已知乙胺丁醇会导致视神经病变，更罕见的是会引发轴索性多发性神经病。我们描述了一名72岁男性的临床、神经生理学和神经影像学检查结果，该患者在接受超治疗剂量乙胺丁醇11周后出现视力丧失和感觉异常。此病例证明了乙胺丁醇毒性对视觉前通路和周围神经具有选择性易损性。
