文摘
- •
A case of tacrolimus-related encephalopathy after renal transplantation.
- •
Brain MRI showed recurrent and reversible brainstem lesions.
- •
Brain SPECT showed supratentorial hypoperfusion, different from the MRI abnormality.
- •
The abnormalities on MRI and SPECT disappeared after the tacrolimus discontinuance.
- •
The functional alteration may be efficiently detectable by SPECT rather than MRI.
