Abstract
Background: To date, only a few cases have been reported that indicate that a delayed polyneuropathy may occur after chemotherapy with oxaliplatin. The clinical and electrophysiological manifestations of this delayed neurotoxicity have never been well documented. Case Reports: Nerve conduction studies were performed in 4 patients who developed acute peripheral neuropathy several months after completion of oxaliplatin-containing chemotherapy. Sensory nerve conduction was abnormal in all patients. In 2 patients, the electrodiagnostic studies showed a mixed axonal and demyelinating sensorimotor polyneuropathy. Conclusions: Delayed polyneuropathy occurring after oxaliplatin-based chemotherapy can be confirmed by electrophysiological studies.
