AI Article Synopsis
- * A case series presents an acute neurotoxicity syndrome caused by bortezomib, differing from BIPN as it involves unilateral or bilateral foot drop rather than the typical distal symptoms.
- * Symptoms related to this syndrome improved over time after discontinuation of bortezomib, taking months to years for gradual recovery.
Article Abstract
Bortezomib-induced peripheral neuropathy (BIPN) has a profound impact on quality of life, which is an important issue considering the growing number of survivors of multiple myeloma and amyloidosis. BIPN is typically symmetric, distal, "stocking and glove" distribution and predominantly consists of sensory rather than motor symptoms. In this case series, we report an acute neurotoxicity syndrome induced by bortezomib, which is clinically distinct from BIPN by not being peripheral and distal. We describe six patients that developed unilateral or bilateral foot drop attributed to bortezomib. With bortezomib discontinuation symptoms improved gradually over months to years.
