Leukemia can impact the central and peripheral nervous systems. Neurologic complications arise from direct leukemic spread or treatment side effects and immune issues.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Oncology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Leukemia frequently involves the central and peripheral nervous systems.
  • Neurologic complications are a significant concern in leukemia patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To outline the diverse neurologic complications associated with leukemia.
  • To categorize complications based on their etiology: direct leukemic infiltration, treatment-related adverse events, and opportunistic infections.

Main Methods:

  • Review of existing literature on neurologic manifestations in leukemia.
  • Classification of neurologic complications based on causative factors.

Main Results:

  • Direct leukemic infiltration can cause leukemic meningitis.

  • Treatment complications include intracranial hemorrhage, steroid myopathy, and peripheral neuropathy.
  • Immune compromise leads to infections like Herpes zoster and Aspergillus meningitis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Neurologic complications in leukemia are multifactorial.
    • Understanding these complications is crucial for comprehensive patient management.
    • Multidisciplinary care is essential to address the spectrum of neurologic issues in leukemia.
