RESUMEN
En este artículo se revisan las distintas manifestaciones neurológicas del consumo excesivo de alcohol, que pueden ser agudas o crónicas y afectar al sistema nervioso central o periférico. El mecanismo por el cual se producen varía de un grupo de trastornos a otro. Destacan factores nutricionales, efectos tóxicos del alcohol, factores metabólicos e incluso inmunológicos. Estas manifestaciones pueden conllevar una gran morbilidad y un aumento significativo de la mortalidad, por lo que es importante reconocerlas y tratarlas precozmente (AU)
ABSTRACT
This article reviews the different acute and chronic neurological manifestations of excessive alcohol consumption that affect the central or peripheral nervous system.

Recognition and early treatment of these manifestations is essential given their association with high morbidity and significantly increased mortality (AU)
