Ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy: the EEG with frontal intermittent delta activity, and rapid resolution with methylene blue: A case report.
Background: Encephalopathy is an established side effect of the chemotherapeutic agent, ifosfamide, occurring in 10-30% of cases. The EEG commonly shows non-specific features of encephalopathy, and rarely shows frontal intermittent rhythmic delta activity (FIRDA).
Case presentation: This is a case report of a 71 year old woman with pleomorphic sarcoma, who developed ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy with her second dose of ifosfamide. It shows the characteristic EEG findings that have been described previously with ifosfamide-induced encephalopathy and additionally the unusual and rare finding of FIRDA. This was followed up by a further EEG showing resolution of the encephalopathy, after administration of methylene blue, coinciding with rapid and complete resolution of her symptoms.
Conclusion: The rapid resolution of the encephalopathy on the EEG after administration of methylene blue adds further evidence to its effectiveness as a treatment for the disorder.
期刊介绍:
Clinical Sarcoma Research considers for publication articles related to research on sarcomas, including both soft tissue and bone. The journal publishes original articles and review articles on the diagnosis and treatment of sarcomas along with new insights in sarcoma research, which may be of immediate or future interest for diagnosis and treatment. The journal also considers negative results, especially those from studies on new agents, as it is vital for the medical community to learn whether new agents have been proven effective or ineffective within subtypes of sarcomas. The journal also aims to offer a forum for active discussion on topics of major interest for the sarcoma community, which may be related to both research results and methodological topics.
