Cerebellar Atrophy Following Acute Intoxication with Phenytoin
Neurol 39:432-433, Masur,H.,et al, 1989
See this aricle in Pubmed
Article Abstract
A patient developed marked cerebellar atrophy after a single suicidal intoxication with 7 grams phenytoin.The clinical signs of cerebellar dysfunction subsided very slowly and incompletely within 18 months.We documented the cerebellar atrophy by CTs 4 weeks and 1 year after the intoxication,and we suggest that a single severe acute intoxication with phenytoin may directly cause cerebellar degeneration.
