Abstract

Introduction Cyclosporine (CsA) is an immunosuppressant known for its neurotoxicity, which presents with acute encephalopathy and seizures in the most severe form. However, whether there is age-related neurological susceptibility in pediatric population is poorly defined. The study aims to examine the vulnerability of CsA neurotoxicity among different age groups of pediatric patients in terms of occurrence rate, acute presentations, long-term outcomes, and neuroimaging findings. Methods Pediatric patients (age
