Abstract
A case of acute neurological toxicity was observed in a patient with a retroperitoneal fibromyxosarcoma treated with DTIC (NSC-45382), Adriamycin and Vincristine. The neurological symptoms started one hour after drug administration and rapidly declined with symptomatic therapy; no EEG and scintigraphic changes were detectable. The case is discussed in relation to central nervous system complications reported by other authors, following administration of DTIC and Adriamycin.
