Neurological Toxicity Following Treatment with Chemotherapeutic Medicines: A Short Case

Abstract

Central nervous system toxicity associated with chemotherapeutic agents has been reported in the past. Many potentially promising chemotherapeutic agents are unusable because of central nervous system toxicity. We report a case of neurological complications observed in a subject with a retroperitoneal fibromyxosarcoma treated with Adriamycin and Vincristine. The neurological symptoms started an hour after drug administration and rapidly declined with appropriate therapy.
