AbstractThis patient presented with clinical features consistent with acute cervical myelopathy or Guillain–Barré syndrome but ventricular arrhythmias on the electrocardiogram alerted the authors to a possible toxic cause. The history of drug ingestion was then elucidated, indicating aconitine poisoning from herbal medicine. Aconitine-containing plants are the most frequently encountered herbal agents that cause serious toxicity in Hong Kong (Chan et al, 1993).
