We present a 41 woman who underwent an allogeneic bone marrow transplantation as a treatment for a multiple myeloma. After presenting graft-versus-host disease, hyperbilirubinemia, cyclosporine toxic levels, renal failure and peripheral schistocytosis, she developed complex partial seizures and bilateral hypodensity lesions in occipital lobes. Fulminant microangiopathy was diagnosed; though promptly treated with immunoglobulins and fenitoin, she died in few days. Necropsy showed diffuse thrombotic disease and a haematoma in left occipital lobe. We review the types of thrombotic microangiopathy described up to now, and the different pathogenic theories related to them. According to our reviewing of the literature, this is the first case of fulminant thrombotic microangiopathy ever described in Spanish language.
