Abstract
A 50-year-old patient with a diagnosis of a primary extragonadal germ cell tumor received cisplatin-containing polychemotherapy and developed seizures after the first course of drug administration. We discuss this very rare toxic side effect of cisplatin and present a review of the literature concerning the experience with neurotoxic effects exerted by this agent.
