Complex Visual Hallucinations and Cyclosporine

MR angiographic diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis following allogeneic bone marrow transplantation

“…[24][25][26][27][28] Cessation or a reduction of cyclosporin has in certain cases led to a resolution of the adverse effects. 23,29,30 In our patients reduction or cessation of cyclosporin together with anticoagulation were accompanied by resolution of clinical symptoms.…”

Erythropoietin induced visual hallucinations after bone marrow transplantation

“…The visual hallucinations and headache were the first symptoms of a threatening encephalopathy. Magnetic resonance imaging showed the characteristic lesions of PLS, and this patient, as well as those with visual hallucinations during cyclosporin treatment, show that hallucinations in these pa- tients can be symptoms of the PLS [12]. Shortly after we treated our patient, Delanty et al [7] reported six hemodialysis patients with rhu-EPO induced PLS.…”

Kinking and stenosis of the carotid artery associated with homolateral ischaemic brain infarction in a patient treated with cyclosporin A

“…Common symptoms of CsA neurotoxicity are tremor, paraesthesia, ataxia, mental alteration and fever [1±3, 12, 18, 20]. Rarely cortical blindness as well as speech and motor disturbances have been observed [ 10,13,15,21]. MRI scans in patients with CsA neurotoxic eects reveal the typical features of disseminated acute leukencephalopathy and increased signals in the white matter in T2 images [1,18,19].…”
