General Neurology
Alcohol abuse and its neurologic complications
Excessive alcohol use may lead to withdrawal seizures, delirium tremens (DTs), Wernicke-Korsakoff syndrome, hepatic encephalopathy, peripheral neuropathy, cerebellar degeneration, and other complications. Excitotoxicity, free radical formation, and neuroinflammatory damage may underlie the neurodegenerative aspects of alcohol toxicity.
