    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Toxicology

    Background:

    • Ornidazole is an antibiotic and antiprotozoal medication.
    • Peripheral neuropathy is a potential adverse effect of certain medications.

    Observation:

    • An 18-year-old patient developed peripheral neuropathy after a cumulative dose of 41g of ornidazole.
    • Clinical presentation included bilateral radial paralysis.
    • Electrophysiological studies revealed diffuse motor and sensory abnormalities.

    Findings:

    • The patient's symptoms and signs of peripheral neuropathy fully resolved within three months of ceasing ornidazole.
    • The study suggests a potential link between ornidazole and peripheral neuropathy.

    Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering ornidazole-induced peripheral neuropathy in patients presenting with relevant symptoms.
