Abstract

A 49 year-old woman, who took a high dose of disulfiram for the purpose of suicide, presented with severe hoarseness, quadriparesis, and sensory loss of distal limbs. Laryngeal electromyography showed ample denervation potentials. Nerve conduction study was consistent with severe sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy. She was diagnosed with an acute palsy of recurrent laryngeal nerve and superimposed severe acute sensorimotor axonal polyneuropathy due to high dose disulfiram intoxication.
