[Treatment of ifosfamide induced encephalopathy with methylene-blue].
The authors report a case of encephalopathy after treatment with ifosfamide treated by a methylene blue infusion. This side-effect is rare but influenced by high doses and short infusions of this drug. Recently, a treatment of ifosfamide encephalopathy with methylene blue has been reported. This case report confirms the interest of such a treatment.
