An underrated complication of the organs' transplantations.

CONCLUSION: Neurotoxicity is an underrated reversible side effect of chronic tacrolimus administration after organs' transplantation. Its prompt diagnosis, based on T2 and FLAIR MRI sequences neuroimaging combined with stereotactic biopsy, allows the discontinuation of the drug and a recovery of the patient in most of the cases.
