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.
