Subacute encephalopathic toxicity of cisplatin

Abstract

Acute blindness or seizures are usually the first signs of central neurotoxicity from cisplatin. We report a case of subacute neurotoxicity caused by cisplatin. Progressive encephalopathy and partial loss of vision were the main observed signs. This condition was completely reversible upon cisplatin discontinuation, as is usually the case with acute central neurotoxicity.
