Transplantation Proceedings, 03/31/09
Dzudie A et al. - The authors report 2 cases of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). The first case was a 68-year-old woman who underwent heart transplantation and received immunosuppression with mycophenolate mofetil, prednisone, and CsA. The second case was a 19-year-old man with a heart transplant receiving immunosuppression with prednisone and CsA. On day 44, he developed acute headache and generalized seizures. In both cases blood CsA concentration was therapeutic. Both cases recovered but in the first case neurologic findings were reversed only after CsA withdrawal.
