Cisplatin-induced gastric paresis
Abstract
A 27 year old male with metastatic testicular carcinoma was treated with cisplatin, vinblastine, and bleomycin (PVB) chemotherapy. After receiving a cumulative dose of 500 mg/m2 of cisplatin, he developed severe nausea and vomiting and had clinical evidence of a cisplatin-induced peripheral neuropathy. His vomiting resolved five weeks after discontinuation of cisplatin. We believe this case represents the first report of gastric autonomic neuropathy induced by cisplatin.
