Abstract:
Cycloserine is a broad spectrum antibiotic used as a second drug for treatment of drug resistant
tuberculosis. Inappropriate usage in excessive doses can give rise to neurological problems. We report
a case who developed aphasia, anxiety and seizure during anti-tuberculosis medication. MRI of the
brain showed reversible cytotoxic edema in dentate nuclei. Clinical and MRI findings were consistent
with cycloserine toxicity.
