title: Vincristine-induced fatal neuropathy in non-Hodgkin's lymphoma.
abstract: The vinca alkaloids are neurotoxic, usually causing a peripheral neuropathy, but cranial neuropathies are rare as side effects. We describe a case of vincristine-induced multiple cranial and autonomic neuropathy, and sensory-motor axonal peripheral neuropathy (pan-neuropathy), which is an extremely rare fatal complication of this drug. The patient developed fulminant cranial, peripheral and significant autonomic neuropathy.
