Abstract:
We describe clinical and electrophysiological findings in 8 patients with tumors of germ cell origin before and after treatment with high-dose cisplatin (800-1400 mg) combined with etoposide and bleomycin. All patients developed clinical or electrophysiological signs, or both, of a peripheral sensory neuropathy. One had in addition clinical and electrophysiological signs of CNS involvement, and 2 had a central conduction defect revealed by auditory stimulation.
