We report a case of a female patient with Durie-Salmon stage 3A/ISS stage I IgG kappa multiple myeloma (MM) who developed encephalopathy after high-dose melphalan and hematopoietic stem cell transplant (HSCT). The most common etiologies for encephalopathy such as infection, narcotic medications, metabolic-electrolyte disturbance, stroke, and central nervous system (CNS) hemorrhages were ruled out. The patient recovered from the altered mental status spontaneously. The possibilities of melphalan-induced encephalopathy versus critical-state delirium versus hypercytokinemia induce encephalopathy were contemplated.
我们报告了一例Durie-Salmon 3A期/国际分期系统(ISS)I期IgG κ型多发性骨髓瘤(MM)女性患者,其在接受大剂量美法仑和造血干细胞移植(HSCT)后发生了脑病。脑病最常见的病因,如感染、麻醉药物、代谢电解质紊乱、中风和中枢神经系统(CNS)出血,均被排除。患者的精神状态改变自行恢复。我们考虑了美法仑诱发的脑病、危重症谵妄与高细胞因子血症诱发脑病的可能性。
