  • Title: Flushing out of cerebrospinal fluid as a therapy for acute cerebellar dysfunction caused by high dose of cytosine arabinoside: a case report.

    Abstract:
    High dose of cytosine arabinoside is usually used in treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia. Here we report 1 case of a child who developed neurologic toxicity and rapidly improved after flushing out of cerebral spinal fluid, suggesting it could be treatment in the acute phase of toxicity. Efficacy of this treatment could be explained by reducing cytosine arabinoside metabolites in central nervous system.
