title: Cyclosporine-associated central neurotoxicity after heart transplantation.
abstract: Cyclosporine central neurotoxicity has been described after bone marrow, kidney, and liver transplantation but has not been well documented after heart transplantation. This case illustrates severe reversible neurotoxicity after heart transplantation with characteristic radiographic changes in magnetic resonance imaging.
