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