Summary
A kidney transplant recipient developed neurological issues due to a post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder. This rare lymphoma variant caused myeloradiculopathy, impacting the spinal cord and brain, requiring specific diagnostic approaches.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Immunology
- Oncology
Background:
- Post-transplant lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) is a significant complication following organ transplantation, particularly kidney transplantation.
- Patients on immunosuppressive therapy, such as mycophenolate mofetil and prednisolone, are at increased risk.
- Neurological manifestations of PTLD can be diverse and challenging to diagnose.
