Abstract
Idiopathic Systemic Capillary Leak Syndrome (SCLS) is a rare entity ch aracterised by idiopathic increasing of capillary permeability associa ted with recurrent attacks of hypovolaemic shock. We report the case o f a 39-year-old man with a SCLS fourteen years after a cadaveric renal transplantation. The clinical evolution was rapidly fatal despite tre atment with corticoids, aminophylline and terbutaline which are the mo st efficient drugs known to prevent attacks.
