Asymmetric Type F Botulism with Cranial Nerve Demyelination

Asymmetric Type F Botulism with Cranial Nerve Demyelination

We report a case of type F botulism in a patient with bilateral but asymmetric neurologic deficits. Cranial nerve demyelination was found during autopsy. Bilateral, asymmetric clinical signs, although rare, do not rule out botulism. Demyelination of cranial nerves might be underrecognized during aut...
