Albeit rare, both 5-FU and capecitbine have been reported to be associated with acute central nervous system toxicity, including cerebellar dysfunction, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, and transient leukoencephalopathies. Here we present a case of 32-year-old female, demonstrating transient mutism related to capecitabine induced acute toxic leukoencephalopathy.}, publisher={Korean Neurological Association}, author={Kim, Hyung Ho and Kim, Hyunji and Kim, Sumin and Kim, Soo-Hyun and Kim, Geon Ha}, year={2022}, month={May} }
