VINCRISTINE INDUCED VOCAL CORD PARALYSIS IN PATIENT WITH DIFFUSE LARGE B-CELL LYMPHOMA: A CASE REPORT
Journal Title: World Journal of Pharmaceutical Research - Year 2017, Vol 6, Issue 10
Abstract
We described a 60 years old male patient with diffuse large B-cell lymphoma who developed vincristine-induced vocal cord paralysis. Vincristine-induced vocal cord paralysis is rare but potentially life-threatening complication and it should be suspected when stridor and hoarseness of voce is present. Clinicians should be aware of this reversible but life threatening condition in patients receiving vincristine. Vocal cord paralysis can be resolved spontaneously after withdrawal of the vincristine.
