High dose of cytosine arabinoside is usually used in treatment of acute myelogenous leukemia. Here we report 1 case of a child who developed neurologic toxicity and rapidly improved after flushing out of cerebral spinal fluid, suggesting it could be treatment in the acute phase of toxicity. Efficacy of this treatment could be explained by reducing cytosine arabinoside metabolites in central nervous system.
高剂量阿糖胞苷通常用于治疗急性髓系白血病。在此我们报告1例儿童发生神经毒性,在进行脑脊液置换后迅速好转,提示这可能是急性毒性期的一种治疗方法。这种治疗的有效性可以通过减少中枢神经系统中阿糖胞苷代谢产物来解释。
