Acute cranial neuropathy followed intra-arterial chemotherapy with Cisplatin for a squamous cell cancer of the mouth. The favourable course, histological studies and local trophic impairment suggested local neurotoxicity due to Cisplatin accumulation in cranial nerves. The patient was the first to develop such a toxic effect in a series of 35 consecutive patients treated with the same therapy.

Abstract
Acute cranial neuropathy followed intra-arterial chemotherapy with Cisplatin for a squamous cell cancer of the mouth. The favourable course, histological studies and local trophic impairment suggested local neurotoxicity due to Cisplatin accumulation in cranial nerves. The patient was the first to develop such a toxic effect in a series of 35 consecutive patients treated with the same therapy.
