Abstract
We report the case of a 12-year-old girl with stage 4 neuroblastoma who developed tonic pupils secondary to immunotherapy with dinutuximab, an anti-GD2 antibody, based on the timeline provided by her mother with regard to onset of symptoms. The patient presented with difficulty reading and chronic dilated pupils bilaterally, according to her mother’s observations over 6 months prior to presentation. Testing with dilute pilocarpine supported our presumption of tonic pupils.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
