Vincristine is a chemotherapy drug belonging to the group of Vinca alkaloids which also includes vinblastine and vindesine. It is used in hematological malignancies and solid tumors. The Vinca alkaloids are neurotoxic, usually causing peripheral neuropathy, and rarely cranial neuropathies. We report a case of a 33-month-old male child diagnosed with Wilms’ tumor, who had an isolated unilateral right ptosis following vincristine, with a good improvement after stopping it.
