Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy after liver transplantation can have favorable or unfavorable outcome.

Progressive multifocal leukoencephalopathy (PML) is a demyelinating disease of the central nervous system caused by the JC polyomavirus (JCPyV) in immunocompromised patients, including solid organ transplant recipients. We report 2 cases of PML late after liver transplantation (144 and 204 months) and review the few other published cases. The clinical course of PML is characterized by a rapid progressive neurological decline coinciding with the presence of white matter lesions on magnetic resonance images.
