Cyclosporine-Associated Mutism in Liver Transplant Patients
Neurol 46:252-254, Valldeoriola,F.,et al, 1996
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Four liver transplant recipients treated with cyclosporine developed a reversible neurologic syndrome characterized by a speech disorder leading to mutism.This complication,previously reported in a few liver transplant recipients treated with the immunosuppressive drug FK506,had not been described with cyclosporine.Recognition of this syndrome should prompt withdrawal of the drug and avoidance of unnecessary diagnostic procedures.
