AB  - Solid organ transplantation (SOT) is the preferred treatment for an expanding 
      range of conditions whose successful therapy has produced a growing population of 
      chronically immunosuppressed patients with potential neurological problems. While 
      the spectrum of neurological complications varies with the type of organ 
      transplanted, the indication for the procedure, and the intensity of long-term 
      required immunosuppression, major neurological complications occur with all SOT 
      types. The second part of this 2-part article on transplantation neurology 
      reviews central and peripheral nervous system problems associated with SOT with 
      clinical and neuroimaging examples from the authors' institutional experience. 
      Particular emphasis is given to conditions acquired from the donated organ or 
      tissue, problems specific to types of organs transplanted and drug 
      therapy-related complications likely to be encountered by hospitalists. 
      Neurologically important syndromes such as immune reconstitution inflammatory 
      syndrome (IRIS), posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), and 
      posttransplantation lymphoproliferative disorder (PTLD) are readdressed in the 
      context of SOT.
