Abstract
We report 2 patients with transient, focal, repetitive, stereotyped episodes of neurologic deficits during treatment with interleukin-2. One patient had recurrent monocular blindness, while the 2nd had recurrent homonymous quadrantanopia. We suggest that these attacks are provoked by endothelial cell activation induced by interleukin-2.
