Neurotoxicidad asociada al tratamiento de niños y adolescentes con Leucemia Linfoblástica Aguda
Neurotoxicity associated with the treatment of children and adolescents with acute lymphoblastic leukemia
Palabras clave:
Síndrome de Leucoencefalopatía Posterior, Leucemia en niños, Trombosis del seno venoso, NeurotoxicidadResumen
La neurotoxicidad secundaria al tratamiento quimioterápico en pacientes pediátricos con diagnóstico de Leucemia Linfoblástica Aguda es relativamente frecuente. Debido a ello es que, ante un cuadro clínico neurológico en estos pacientes, es fundamental considerarlo y solicitar los estudios complementarios adecuados para confirmar o descartar este diagnóstico diferencial. Se presenta en este trabajo una revisión bibliográfica mediante casos clínicos sobre este tema.
