Abstract

ABSTRACT We present the case of a 37-year-old woman with alcohol use disorder, who developed leg cramping, bilateral foot drop, and hand weakness 3 months after starting disulfiram. This was accompanied by an 18-pound involuntary weight loss. Electrophysiologic findings showed a motor predominant axonal neuropathy. Neuromuscular ultrasound showed normal to small cross-sectional area of all nerves studied. This case is discussed, and the ultrasound findings are compared with another reported case.

神经肌肉超声在二硫仑多发性神经病诊断中的应用。

摘要我们报告了一例37岁的女性，她患有酒精使用障碍，在开始服用双硫仑3个月后出现腿部痉挛、双侧足下垂和手部无力。伴随而来的是18磅的非自愿减肥。电生理检查结果显示以运动为主的轴索神经病变。神经肌肉超声显示所有研究神经的横截面积正常至较小。对该病例进行了讨论，并将超声检查结果与另一例报告病例进行了比较。
