We report the case of a patient who received two infusions of dimethylsulfoxide ( DMSO) cryopreserved autologous peripheral blood progenitor cells (PBPCs) after myeloablative chemotherapy for a relapsing lymphoma. A 49-year-old man presented an episode of tonic-clonic seizure over a few minutes after the start of each infusion and developed a profound and sustained but reversible encephalopathy with coma after the second infusion. The patient's neurological condition correlated well with the electrophysiological findings ( electroencephalogram and multimodality evoked potentials) and, to a lesser extent, with the radiological abnormalities ( magnetic resonance imaging). Severe but reversible neurological complications may occur with the infusion of PBPCs cryopreserved with DMSO.
