摘要
Intrathecal methotrexate (IT MTX) resulting in severe adverse events including life-threatening cerebral edema is not well described. We report a rare case of death in a 37-year-old BRCAI + woman with metastatic triple-negative breast cancer status post mastectomy following administration of IT MTX for leptomeningeal carcinomatosis. Within the 24 hours after intraoperative IT MTX delivery, she developed neurologically devastating diffuse cerebral edema leading to uncal and cerebellar tonsillar herniation. This case report highlights a rare but devastating side effect of IT MTX.
