Abstract

Neurological complications are an increasingly recognized complication of the use of the immune checkpoint inhibitors in the treatment of solid tumors. Ipilimumab is a monoclonal antibody against cytotoxic T-lymphocyte antigen-4, an immune checkpoint inhibitor that suppresses T-cell effector function. The clinical spectrum of ipilimumab-associated neurological complications and optimum treatment approach is not established. We describe our institution's experience with ipilimumab and illustrate 2 cases of presumed autoimmune neurological phenomenon resulting from its use.
