After 2 months of initiating bevacizumab, she was presented with one episode of generalized tonic clonic seizure, headache, and visual blurring of 2 days duration and magnetic resonance imaging brain T2 fluid-attenuated inversion recovery image revealed subcortical white matter edema in bilateral frontoparietal, occipital, left temporal lobes (Fig. 1A and B), and hyperintense edema with effacement of folia in both cerebellum with nodular areas of contrast enhancement suggestive of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.
