Reversible @entity16757 in Chinese XXXX induced by chemotherapy: a review of five cases.

@entity1 @entity410 @entity981 @entity227 @entity5 @entity302 @entity10 @entity16757
This is a retrospective review of the clinico-radiological features and neurological outcomes of reversible @entity16757 episodes in Chinese @entity5 @entity1 receiving chemotherapy in a regional hospital in Hong Kong from 1998 to 2008. Five @entity1 (3 males and 2 females) with a mean age of 7 years were identified, four of whom had @entity981 and one had a central nervous system germ cell @entity5 . Presenting symptoms included @entity410 (100%), altered mental function (100%), @entity10 (40%), and @entity227 (60%). The mean systolic blood pressure at presentation was 158 mm Hg. Approximately 80% had typical radiological features of reversible @entity16757 . All showed complete recovery after the acute stage, but one subsequently developed @entity302 . Two @entity1 ultimately died of refractory @entity5 . Two others were followed up for a mean of 6 years, and remained neurologically normal. This report was the first case review documenting reversible @entity16757 in Chinese @entity5 @entity1 . The clinico-radiological features and neurological outcomes were similar to those reported in western series. Early recognition of the syndrome is important to facilitate appropriate treatment. The central nervous system damage may not be reversible and thus long-term follow-up is warranted.
