ABSTRACT
We report a 40 year old Bahraini female, a case of metastatic breast cancer who experienced paralytic ileus, an uncommon acute complication of Navelbine therapy when it was given in combination with Docetaxel. The diagnosis was made on clinical examination and confirmed by a plain X-ray of the abdomen, which showed multiple fluid levels. The management was conservative in view of the acute toxicity of Navelbine therapy being self-limiting
