The case is reported of an 18 year old patient who developed a peripheral neuropathy after being given 1.5 g ornidazole daily for 6 days and 2 g daily for 16 days (total dose: 41 g). Bilateral radial paralysis was noted clinically, whilst electrical investigations showed diffuse motor and sensitive anomalies. Three months after the drug had been stopped, all symptoms and signs had disappeared. The pathogenesis of this complication is discussed. The part played by ornidazole is suggested but cannot be proved because of the multiple disorders presented by the patient.
