- Abstract
- Posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome (PRLS) is a disorder that is characterized by reversible white-matter
edema affecting the posterior regions of the brain. There are rare cases in which cyclosporine has been cited as a
medication responsible for PRLS, which causes hypoperfused ischemia by endothelial injury and vasoconstriction, with
resultant vasogenic edema. A PRLS patient in whom the condition was induced by cyclosporine is described herein.
Perfusion computed tomography revealed a clinically relevant hypoperfused area, including the zones of vasogenic
edema. Key Words: Posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy syndrome, Cyclosporine, Perfusion computed tomography
