A rare presentation of acute onset metronidazole-induced leukoencephalopathy with rapid resolution: a case report.

Purpose: Metronidazole is a widely used antimicrobial and is generally well-tolerated, but its adverse effects can rarely manifest as ataxia, dysarthria, and encephalopathy. Rarely it can cause severe neurological toxicity in the form of Metronidazole-Induced Encephalopathy.

Methods: We report a 48-year-old female with acute cerebellar symptoms and altered sensorium following a 12-day course of Metronidazole.

Rare insights: Atypical MRI features of juvenile SLE.

Patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) frequently show symptoms of central nervous system involvement, termed neuropsychiatric SLE (NPSLE). Central nervous system (CNS) vasculitis is one of the neurological pathologies seen in CNS lupus. Patients with NPSLE typically present with nonspecific symptoms such as headache and cognitive impairment.
