Spinal MRI of vincristine neuropathy mimicking Guillain-Barré syndrome.

Yun Woo Chang1, Hye-Kyung Yoon, Jae Min Cho, Ki Woong Sung.   

Abstract

A 4.3-year-old girl with acute leukaemia, who was being treated with chemotherapy (including vincristine), developed paraplegia. Spinal MRI showed diffusely enhancing nerve roots on contrast-enhanced images. Spinal fluid analysis showed a normal protein level. Vincristine neuropathy mimicking Guillain-Barré syndrome is thought to be the cause of the MRI abnormalities.
