| | The researchers did not advocate this approach, noting that, in pediatric patients, administering vincristine through a peripheral IV and a vincristine infusion, rather than bolus administration, greatly increases the risk of extravasation injury. | | | Upon autopsy, typical findings caused by inadvertent intrathecal vincristine administration included grossly edematous and congested brain and spinal cord tissue with axonal degeneration and myelin loss of the spinal nerves (Kwack et al., 1999; Williams et al., 1983). | | | The two patients who also received leucovorin following a 10-fold vincristine overdose recovered, although a more rapid recovery time was not observed when they were compared retrospectively to patients who survived a vincristine overdose but did not receive leucovorin (Grush and Morgan, 1979; Thomas et al., 1982). |
