AbstractAbnormally increased 18F-fluorodeoxyglucose uptake in the basal ganglia was noted by positron emission tomography (PET) in a 37-year-old bone marrow transplant patient who had severe intention tremors of his hands and a progressive psychiatric change with social withdrawal and flat affect. This is the first PET report on metabolic abnormalities in cyclosporine neurotoxicity. It emphasizes the need for more research to understand the pathophysiology of these changes.
