Unusual complication in a patient with renal transplantation: cerebral cysticercosis.

abstract：:We encountered 11 patients with aluminum-associated bone disease (AABD), and treated them with deferoxamine (DFO). In 3 patients, a second bone biopsy was done during DFO treatment. Clinical features of AABD were compared with surgically proven secondary hyperparathyroidism (2 degrees HPT) with osteitis fibrosa on X-r...
