Epub 2020 May 20. We present a rare case of Calcineurin-inhibitor-Induced Pain Syndrome CIPS in a pediatric transplant patient with lower extremity LE pain absent LE reflexes and difficulty ambulating.
It may affect up to 20 of patients exposed to calcineurin inhibitors.
Calcineurin inhibitor pain syndrome. While important for immunosuppression the use of calcineurin inhibitors has been associated with the development of a new pain syndrome called the calcineurin pain syndrome which appears to be an untoward complication of the interruption of the physiologic function of calcineurin.

Epub 2020 May 20. Authors Ankur Varma 1. Calcineurin inhibitor pain syndrome CIPS is a rare syndrome characterized by symmetric lower extremity arthralgias and long bone pain seen among patients currently on treatment with calcineurin inhibitors.
Below we discuss the case of a patient who presented with bilateral symmetric knee pain while on cyclosporine. Calcineurin-inhibitor induced pain syndrome CIPS is a condition characterized by lower extremity pain in patients receiving tacrolimus or cyclosporine therapy following organ transplantation. Through two cases we demonstrate key imaging findings in CIPS with bone scintigraphy and magnetic resonan.
Calcineurin-inhibitor-induced pain syndrome CIPS a rare complication seen in patients with organ transplants is associated with the use of calcineurin inhibitors CIs such as cyclosporine CSP and tacrolimus FK. Patients with this syndrome usually present with severe leg pain. Calcineurin inhibitor pain syndrome CIPS is an uncommon debilitating side effect of calcineurin inhibitor CNI use.
The most commonly implicated drugs are cyclosporine and tacrolimus. 2 It has not yet been described in the literature with pimecrolimus. It may affect up to 20 of patients exposed to calcineurin inhibitors.
Calcineurin inhibitor-induced pain syndrome is diagnosis of exclusion but must be considered because the withdrawal of this immunosuppressive agent is associated with improvement in symptoms and quality of life. Published by Elsevier Inc. We present a rare case of Calcineurin-inhibitor-Induced Pain Syndrome CIPS in a pediatric transplant patient with lower extremity LE pain absent LE reflexes and difficulty ambulating.
CIPS presents with bilateral symmetric LE pain sparing hips and spine which is frequently intractable and exacerbated by weight bearing. Symptoms are related to. The most effective treatment of calcineurin inhibitor-induced pain syndrome consisted reduction dose of calcineurin inhibitors calcineurin inhibitors change to another drug from the same drug class or mammalian target of rapamycin inhibitors.
This study demonstrates that bone MRI is diagnostic modality of choice in patients with calcineurin inhibitor-induced pain. Calcineurin-inhibitor induced pain syndrome CIPS is a condition describing reversible lower extremity pain in patients following organ transplantation. This entity was first described in 1989 based on symptoms in transplant patients treated with cyclosporine 1.
The Calcineurininhibitor Induced Pain Syndrome CIPS is a rare but severe side effect of cyclosporine or tacrolimus and is accurately diagnosed by its typical presentation magnetic resonance imaging and bone scans. Incorrect diagnosis of the syndrome will lead to a significant reduction of life quality in patients suffering from CIPS. Calcineurin inhibitor-induced pain syndrome CIPS is a rare but severe side effect of calcineurin inhibitors CIs such as CsA and tacrolimus FK.

The syndrome seems to affect about 5 of patients who undergo kidney heart lung liver pancreas or bone marrow transplantation1 is associated with the use of calcineurin inhibitors cyclosporine and tacrolimus and has in the past been attributed to various pathologies in particular Reflex. In 2001 Gortz et al. 5 coined the term Calcineurininhibitor pain syndrome CIPS for this pain syndrome.
It is important to recognize this entity early as in some patients it leads to significant morbidity in the affected patient 6. We describe here the first case of. Calcineurininhibitoren sind Arzneistoffe mit immunsuppressiver Wirkung.
Sie inaktivieren die Serin-Threonin-Phosphatase Calcineurin die für die Transkription von Zytokinen und somit für einen Teil der Immunantwort notwendig ist.
