Abstract

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is characterized by clinical symptoms such as visual disturbance, altered mental status, and seizures. It also presented with abnormal findings on computed tomography (CT) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicating cerebral edema in the occipital, temporal, and parietal lobes. It is often related with an acute increase in arterial blood pressure, and is associated with preeclampsia, renal failure, infections, and immunosuppressive agents. Early diagnosis and treatment of PRES is very important. PRES is a medical emergency and it is a fully reversible condition especially when diagnosed and treated immediately. Herein we report a case presented with blindness and diagnosed with MRI as PRES.
