Abstract:
The chemotherapeutic effectiveness of vincristine was first reported in 1962, and with its increased use the incidence of reported neurologic side effects has also increased. We reported a case of acute sixth-nerve palsy occurring soon after administration of vincristine for acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL), a previously unreported side effect.
