Abstract
We report three patients in whom neurologic symptoms and cortical laminar necrosis developed after immunosuppressive treatment (cyclosporin A and FK 506) and polychemotherapy (vincristine and methotrexate). Initial neuroradiologic studies showed cortical and white matter involvement. Follow-up studies showed cortical hyper-intense lesions on T1-weighted MR images, consistent with cortical laminar necrosis. The clinical and radiologic data indicate that a transient hypoxic-ischemic process could have been responsible for the encephalic lesions in these three patients.Entities:
