  ABSTRACT: Oxaliplatin is a novel platinum compound with clinical activity against several solid tumors. It has been associated with sensory neuropathies and, rarely, a neuromyotonia-like hyperexcitability syndrome; a form of peripheral neuropathy manifested by tremor and twitching activity of muscles. We present a case of hyperexcitability syndrome developed during the treatment of stage III appendiceal adenocarcinoma with oxaliplatin-containing regimen and was successfully treated with Pregabalin.
