Tacrolimus (FK506, Prograf) is a potent immunosuppressant, which inhibits cytokine synthesis and blocks T-cell development. Optic neuropathy from tacrolimus toxicity is very uncommon but, when present, can result in severe vision loss.
Case series and review of the literature.
We present 3 patients with tacrolimus optic neuropathy after bone marrow transplantation complicated by graft-vs-host disease and demonstrate the differing clinical and radiologic presentation of this presumed toxic optic neuropathy.
Tacrolimus optic neuropathy can manifest in a multitude of clinical presentations and can have devastating visual consequences.
他克莫司(FK506,普乐可复)是一种强效免疫抑制剂,能抑制细胞因子合成并阻断 T 细胞发育。他克莫司毒性引起的视神经病变非常罕见,但一旦发生,可导致严重视力丧失。
病例系列和文献复习。
我们报告了 3 例骨髓移植后发生移植物抗宿主病的他克莫司视神经病变患者,并展示了这种推测性毒性视神经病变的不同临床和放射学表现。
他克莫司视神经病变可表现出多种临床表现,并可导致严重的视觉后果。
