Delayed transient neurologic toxicity due to tacrolimus: CT and MRI

Neuroradiology. 2000 Sep;42(9):666-8. doi: 10.1007/s002340000298.

Abstract

We report a case of transient neurologic toxicity secondary to tacrolimus. The clinical and imaging findings are reported and their subsequent regression after interruption of therapy in the patient following a bone-marrow transplant is also described. The etiology of the neurotoxicity and its analogy with other immunosuppressant agents are discussed.
