摘要
Patients may demonstrate various neuromuscular abnormalities after liver transplantation. We report a patient who developed bilateral drop foot after orthotopic liver transplantation. He was diagnosed with critical illness polyneuropathy. During follow-up, his complaints gradually recovered and his electrodiagnostic findings improved.
