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.
