Abstract：
:Tumefactive demyelinating lesions (TDLs) that may resemble brain neoplasms or abscesses are uncommon but noteworthy. A solid knowledge of how to distinguish TDLs from malignancy or infection is a key step to avoid unnecessary medical or surgical interventions. Almost all the intracranial demyelination diseases after liver transplantation (LT) refer to central pontine myelinolysis or extrapontine myelinolysis; TDLs after LT have never been reported. In 2005, a 45-year-old Chinese male underwent orthotopic LT due to "acute on chronic liver failure" in our hospital. He took triple anti-rejection drugs including tacrolimus, mycophenolate mofetil, and corticosteroids after LT. In 2010, he was admitted for right limb weakness, and the head magnetic resonance imaging and magnetic resonance spectroscopy revealed the lesions were more likely to be TDLs. His symptoms disappeared after he was administered corticosteroid therapy which proved the diagnosis. Five years later, he was admitted again to hospital with dizziness and double version. The magnetic resonance image and magnetic resonance spectroscopy showed that the new solitary lesion in the cerebellum may in fact be the new TDL. He received corticosteroid therapy and was discharged after symptoms improved. Herein, to our knowledge, we reported the first case of TDL after LT. We reported this case to provide helpful information to clinicians about intracranial demyelination diseases after LT which maybe are not always central pontine myelinolysis or extrapontine myelinolysis.
