Abstract
|
|
|
|
Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is a syndrome of headache, confusion, seizure, and visual disturbances with transient occipital lesions on radiological study. There are many triggering factors and chemotherapy is one of them. Prognosis of RPLS is known to be good. As RPLS is more often recognized nowadays, there came out several reports dealing with this syndrome. However, we could not find a pediatric case with acute leukemia in Korea. We report here a case of RPLS in an 11-year-old boy during re-induction chemotherapy for his acute lymphoblastic leukemia.
