Quadriparesis and paraparesis following chimeric antigen receptor T-cell therapy in children and adolescents.

Immune effector cell-associated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) is a common but potentially severe adverse event associated with chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CART) therapy, characterized by the development of acute neurologic symptoms following CART infusion. ICANS encompasses a wide clinical spectrum typified by mild to severe encephalopathy, seizures, and/or cerebral edema. As more patients have been treated with CART, new ICANS phenomenology has emerged.
