Abstract:
Here we describe a scenario of an atypical manifestation of vincristine-induced neurotoxicity, which responded serendipitously to modafinil. Atypical in that this patient had developed a uniocular ptosis, a rare manifestation of vincristine-induced neurotoxicity. The improvement in neurotoxicity after modafinil was started to alleviate morphine-induced sedation was quite noteworthy.
