Three probable cases of neuropathy in alcoholics are described. They are very atypical for three reasons. First, each developed an acute asymmetrical neuropathy for the first time well after ceasing to drink, and after routine saturation with the vitamin B group. Secondly, none had previously suffered from neuropathy while still drinking. If this puzzling reversal of the usual order of clinical events has been noticed before, no record has been found in the literature. Further study by psychiatrists treating alcoholics aided by their neurological colleagues is suggested.
本文描述了三例酒精性神经病的可能病例。它们非常不典型，原因有三。其一，三人都是在停止饮酒很久之后，且在常规补充维生素B族达到饱和量之后，首次出现急性非对称性神经病。其二，三人在仍在饮酒时均未曾患过神经病。如果以前有人注意到这种临床事件常规顺序的令人费解的颠倒情况，那么在文献中并未找到相关记录。建议治疗酒精成瘾者的精神科医生在神经科同事的协助下进行进一步研究。
