A woman developed a severe generalized polyneuropathy in acute lithium intoxication. Nerve conduction studies suggested an axonal neuropathy. Her peripheral nerve problem became manifest after treatment had already started; therefore, a high serum lithium level is not considered to be the only factor for the development of a severe polyneuropathy in lithium intoxication.
