Graft-versus-host disease (GVHD) is an immune triggered process leading to severe immune dysregulation and organ dysfunction until death and it is one of the worst medical complications after a transplant. Patients with GVHD may have several neurological alterations: during this acute severe phase there is coexistence of various and nonspecific neurological symptoms. We are reporting a case of a 53 year old woman with severe GVHD after bone marrow transplant with acute neurological signs and symptoms. MRI study showed findings consistent with Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome and Wernicke encephalopathy.
移植物抗宿主病(GVHD)是一种由免疫触发的过程,会导致严重的免疫失调和器官功能障碍,直至死亡,它是移植后最严重的医学并发症之一。患有移植物抗宿主病的患者可能会出现多种神经学改变:在这个急性重症阶段,会同时存在各种非特异性神经症状。我们报告了一例53岁女性患者,在骨髓移植后发生严重移植物抗宿主病,并伴有急性神经体征和症状。磁共振成像(MRI)研究显示的结果与后部可逆性脑病综合征和韦尼克脑病相符。
