✦ Synopsis

Abstract

We report a case involving a 26‐year‐old Asian woman who developed pseudotumor cerebri (PTC) 2 years after renal transplantation. Cyclosporine A (CsA) was the only medication with a known neurotoxic side effect among her medications. CsA was discontinued and substituted with tacrolimus. After the CsA had been stopped, the elevated intracranial pressure gradually decreased and the bilateral papilledema finally normalized within 6 months. The case described herein is the first case of PTC that improved after renal transplantation by switching from CsA to tacrolimus.
