Abstract

Cancer is associated with an increased risk of cerebrovascular incidents and treatment with chemotherapy enhances that risk further. Brocha's aphasia is a stroke‑related syndrome, the presentation of which has been rarely reported during cisplatin‑based chemotherapy. The current study presents the case of a 27‑year‑old male with advanced‑stage small cell lung cancer. The patient developed Broca's aphasia following cisplatin‑based chemotherapy.
