  • Title: Vincristine-induced acute neurotoxicity versus Guillain-Barré syndrome: a diagnostic dilemma.
    Author: González Pérez P, Serrano-Pozo A, Franco-Macías E, Montes-Latorre E, Gómez-Aranda F, Campos T.
    Journal: Eur J Neurol; 2007 Jul; 14(7):826-8. PubMed ID: 17594344.
    Abstract:
    We report the case of a patient with acute lymphoblastic leukaemia who, after the initiation of treatment with vincristine (VCR), developed a fulminant motor polyradiculoneuropathy resembling an axonal variant of Guillain-Barré syndrome (GBS). This report shows that differentiating between axonal GBS and VCR-induced acute neurotoxicity may be a challenge for clinicians.
