Abstract

A 57-year-old woman with advanced ovarian cancer suffered an acute vascular ischemic event after receiving chemotherapy with carboplatin and cyclophosphamide. She experienced transitory speech disorder, left hemiplegia, and left planotopokinesia. The cerebrovascular symptoms resolved approximately 6 h after their acute onset. We suggest that these symptoms were toxic but reversible side effects of the chemotherapy with these two agents.
