  • Title: Bilateral vocal cord paralysis following treatment with vincristine.
    Author: Naithani R, Dolai TK, Kumar R.
    Journal: Indian Pediatr; 2009 Jan; 46(1):68-9. PubMed ID: 19179723.
    Abstract:
    The neurotoxicity of the vincristine is well known, however, cranial neuropathy is not widely recognized. We describe a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed vincristine-induced bilateral vocal cord paralysis. Vocal cord paralysis resolved spontaneously upon withdrawal of the vincristine. Vinca-alkaloid-induced vocal cord paralysis is a potentially dangerous but reversible condition.
