BACKGROUND: Ifosfamide (IFO) is an alkylating agent used to treat broad range of malignancies. One of the life-threatening toxic effects is reversible neurotoxicity. In this report; we presented a case report of ifosfamide induced encephalopathy (IIE) in a child with osteosarcoma in order to emphize that it is important to continue ifosfamide treatment as well as the importance of this potentially fatal complication.
CASE REPORT: Following the 20th week of ifosfamide treatment, the patient's follow-up with the diagnosis of osteosarcoma developed neurological findings. Laboratory analyzes before and after ifosfamide infusion were normal. No pathological findings were seen on MR imaging. Hypoglycemia, electrolyte disturbances, encephalitis, meningitis, metastasis and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) were not considered. Electroencephalography was found compatible with neuronal hyperexcitability originating from the left hemisphere. With the diagnosis of ifosfamide induced encephalopathy, prophylaxis with methylene blue was received before the next infusion of ifosfamide. Neurological findings were not observed in the patient's follow-up.
CONCLUSION: Patients who develop IIE can continue their treatment protocol with methylene blue prophylaxis and supportive therapy.
