Chimeric Antigen Receptor-T Cell Mediated Bilateral Facial Nerve Palsy: A Case Report
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Chimeric antigen receptor (CAR-T) cell therapy is highly effective against hematological cancers but is associated with immune mediated side effects, including neurotoxicity. The most commonly described presentations of immune cell mediated neurotoxicity syndrome (ICANS) include cortical symptoms and generally localize to the central nervous system. In this report, we present a patient with acute onset of bilateral facial nerve palsy following CAR-T cell therapy, followed by a complete clinical recovery. Aside from a temporary anisocoria, he had no other neurologic symptoms and no encephalopathy or seizures. MRI Brain was non-contributory and cerebrospinal fluid revealed a modest increase in lymphocytes without systemic leukocytosis and viral studies were all negative. He was diagnosed with bilateral facial nerve palsy secondary to CAR-T cell therapy and subsequently treated with a course of steroids. Several weeks after presentation he returned to his neurological baseline. The presentation of CAR-T cell mediated facial nerve palsy is both clinically and scientifically relevant for physicians, patients, and researchers.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; both teacher heads agree on what is shown here.
