Allogeneic hematopoietic cell transplantation (allo-HCT) is a curative therapy for patients with hematological malignancies. Acute Graft versus host diseases (GVHD) is a major immune mediated side effect of allo-HCT that can affect the central nervous system (CNS) in addition to post-allo-HCT vascular events, drug toxicity or infections. Here we summarize and discuss recent preclinical data on the CNS as a target of acute GVHD and the known mechanisms contributing to neurotoxicity with a focus on microglia and T cells. We also discuss open questions in the field and place the findings made in mouse models in a clinical context. While in mice the neurological deficits can be assessed in a controlled fashion, in patients the etiology of the CNS damage is difficult to attribute to acute GVHD versus infections, vascular events, and drug-induced toxicity. Ultimately, we discuss novel therapies for GVHD of the CNS. Our understanding of the biological mechanisms that lead to neurotoxicity after allo-HCT increased over the last decade. This review provides insights into CNS manifestations of GVHD versus other etiologies of CNS damage in mice and patients.

An analysis was performed of 120 children, born with multiple malformations and reported to the Swedish national register of congenital malformations. The simultaneous occurrence of two or more specific malformations may be random or due to the presence of a specific syndrome. A statistical analysis demonstrates that specific associations do occur between certain malformations, and one "new" syndrome was found, consisting of closure defects of the central nervous system, an- or microphthalmia, cleft lip and/or cleft palate, and reduction malformations of the limbs, not related to the amelia-phocomelia group. Children with this constellation of malformations were especially common during the first half of 1965. Its cause is unknown. The method of analysis presented may be useful for an early detection of a new, drug-induced malformation syndrome.
