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.
