Reversible Cerebellar Ataxia Related to Extrapontine Myelinolysis without Hyponatremia after Cisplatin-Based Chemotherapy for Cholangiocarcinoma.
[cholangiocarcinoma]
A
60
-
year
-old
woman
presented
with
cerebellar
signs
including
dysarthria
and
ataxia
,
after
intravenous
infusion
of
cisplatin-based
chemotherapy
.
Several
blood
tests
showed
mild
neutropenia
,
normocytic
normochromic
anemia
,
but
no
evidence
of
a
marked
hyponatremia
.
Brain
magnetic
resonance
imaging
with
diffusion-weighted
sequences
showed
hyper-intense
signal
abnormalities
in
the
extrapontine
region
,
sparing
the
basis
pontis
.
Here
,
we
report
on
the
case
of
a
patient
with
reversible
cerebellar
ataxia
related
to
extrapontine
myelinolysis
without
hyponatremia
after
treatment
with
cisplatin-based
chemotherapy
for
cholangiocarcinoma
and
discuss
the
literature
on
cerebellar
ataxia
in
patients
who
underwent
recent
chemotherapy
for
malignancy
.
