title: Broca's aphasia due to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis following chemotherapy for small cell lung cancer: A case report and review of literature.
abstract: Cancer is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular incidents and treatment with chemotherapy enhances that risk further. Brocha's aphasia is a stroke-related syndrome, the presentation of which has been rarely reported during cisplatin-based chemotherapy. The current study presents the case of a 27-year-old male with advanced-stage small cell lung cancer. The patient developed Broca's aphasia following cisplatin-based chemotherapy.
