Abstract
Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome (PLS) is an acute neurologic emergency which is characterized by altered mental functions, headaches, epileptic seizures, visual impairment and often associated with high blood pressure. Exact pathophysiological mechanism is unknown but it is proposed that hypertension originated vasospasm affects the blood brain barrier and consequently leads to cerebral edema. PLS can be diagnosed by clinical and neuroradiological imaging methods. However, inaccurate or delayed diagnosis causes inadequate medical treatment and may result in cerebral hemorrhage, coma and death. This case study is aimed to draw attention to the subject by presenting a patient who has PLS.
