Neurotoxicities associated with checkpoint inhibitors: Two case reports and a review of the literature

Year: 2019

Type: article

Study design: Case Report

Abstract: We report a case of nivolumab-induced delayed-onset aseptic meningitis and a case of limbic encephalitis and peripheral nerve palsy with toxicity relapse 6 months after initial presentation. The atypical presentations contribute to our knowledge of these rare events and reinforce the necessity for vigilant monitoring and a multidisciplinary treatment approach.
