Abstract
None:
A 38-year-old woman with adenocarcinoma of unknown origin was treated with cisplatin and etoposide. After the 4th course of chemotherapy she complained of blindness and had a seizure with spontaneous recovery in 4 days. The relationship between these events and the known neurotoxicity of other heavy metals indicate cisplatin as a possible etiologic factor.
