Diffusion MRI Findings in Encephalopathy Induced by Immunosuppressive Therapy after Liver Transplantation by Emanuele Tinelli, Nicoletta Locuratolo, Alberto Pierallini, Massimo Rossi, Francesco Fattapposta

“…At clinical onset, DWI showed hyperintensity of the temporo-parieto-occipital cortex with normal ADC values in the patient with following good clinical recovery and decreased values in the other one; in the latter case, MRI abnormalities were still present after ten days, until the patient’s exitus. The changes in DWI with normal ADC may be linked to brain edema with a predominant vasogenic component and therefore reversible, while the reduction in ADC is due to cytotoxic edema and linked to more severe, nonreversible, clinical picture. …”
