Bilateral vocal cord paralysis following treatment with vincristine.

Rahul Naithani1, Tuphan Kanti Dolai, Rajat Kumar.   

Abstract

The neurotoxicity of the vincristine is well known, however, cranial neuropathy is not widely recognized. We describe a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed vincristine-induced bilateral vocal cord paralysis. Vocal cord paralysis resolved spontaneously upon withdrawal of the vincristine. Vinca-alkaloid-induced vocal cord paralysis is a potentially dangerous but reversible condition.
