“…The frequency of peripheral neuropathy in pediatric ALL patients in this study (5.07%) was lower than in previous study, with the India study being 13.8% of completed remission patient 12 and the Netherlands study having 82% 11 . The vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) score; such as the pediatric modified total neuropathy score (ped-mTNS) was neither applied or reported in our this study due to the context of age in some patients 4 .…”

“…The vincristine-induced peripheral neuropathy (VIPN) score; such as the pediatric modified total neuropathy score (ped-mTNS) was neither applied or reported in our this study due to the context of age in some patients 4 . The items of ped-mTNS are sensory symptoms, functional symptoms, autonomic symptoms and physical examination; such as light touch sensation, pin sensibility, vibration sensibility, muscle strength and deep tendon reflexes 12 .…”

Objective: Peripheral neuropathy is a common neurological side effect in acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) pediatric patients, receiving vincristine treatment. This study aims to explore the frequency, clinical, and electrodiagnosis of peripheral neuropathy of ALL patients.Material and Methods: This study was a retrospective cohort study, using medical record reviews of children who, diagnosed and undergoing treatment for acute lymphoblastic leukemia, from 1st January 2018 till 31st December 2022.Results: One hundred and ninety-seven patients were diagnosed with ALL and received chemotherapy. Ten patients had clinical and electrodiagnostic studies of peripheral neuropathy. B-cell type and high- risk classification were the most common in these patients. The most common symptom was bilateral foot drop and all patients had hyporeflexia. The mean cumulative dose of vincristine was 13.35±2.12 mg/m2. The axonal neuropathy, with motor dominantly and the peroneal nerves, were the highest abnormal finding in electrodiagnosis testing.Conclusion: This report addresses the frequent and clinical of patients with peripheral neuropathy. Foot drop and hyporeflexia might be helpful in early detection of peripheral neuropathy in ALL patients.

“…Thus, these themes highlighted the impact of the child's chronic pain on the parents' functioning in their everyday lives. A methodological, descriptive cross-sectional study was employed to examine the psychometric properties of pediatric-modified total neuropathy score (Ped-mTNS) in Turkish children with cancer ( Özdemir et al, 2023 ). Pediatric hematology and oncology patients (ages 5–18 years) receiving outpatient chemotherapy of Vincristine or Cisplatin participated in the study.…”
