description

  • Metronidazole-induced encephalopathy (MIE) is a rare but reversible condition that can present with nonspecific neurological symptoms, making early recognition and diagnosis challenging. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is crucial in identifying typical brain lesions associated with MIE. Prompt discontinuation of metronidazole typically results in symptom resolution and improvement in MRI findings.
