Bilateral basal ganglial necrosis after allogeneic bone marrow transplantation in a child with Kostmann syndrome

Bone Marrow Transplantation volume 23, pages 515–517 (1999)Cite this article

Abstract

A 6-year-old girl underwent allogeneic BMT from a matched sibling donor for the treatment of Kostmann syndrome. She suddenly became drowsy on day 30 after BMT, and lost consciousness 2 days later. Cranial CT scan showed symmetrical lesions suggesting bilateral necrosis in the basal ganglia. Clinical and laboratory investigations failed to reveal any evidence of neuro- metabolic disease.
