ABSTRACT
The neurotoxicity of the vincristine is well known, however, cranial neuropathy is not widely recognized. We describe a child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who developed vincristine-induced bilateral vocal cord paralysis. Vocal cord paralysis resolved spontaneously upon withdrawal of the vincristine. Vinca-alkaloid-induced vocal cord paralysis is a potentially dangerous but reversible condition.
