Abstract
ABSTRACTMetronidazole is widely used for chronic or refractory infection and has recently also been used for the treatment of Helicobacter pylori. The authors report the case of a Japanese patient presenting with reversible cerebellar lesions induced by prolonged administration of metronidazole for treatment of H pylori with magnetic resonance imaging findings. Although rare, prolonged and high‐dose administration of metronidazole may induce cerebellar lesions. Increased awareness of this phenomenon is important, as these lesions are reversible with discontinuation of this drug.
