Abstract :

Background: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome(PRES) is characterized by hypertension, seizure, headache, altered mental status, visual disturbance, and diagnosed in presence of typical lesions on ain imaging. Case: We report 14-yr girl presented with features suggestive of PRES. Computerized tomography of ain showed multiple ill defined, non-enhancing hypodensities in frontoparietal and left occipital area due to corticomedullary oedema suggestive of PRES. Result: After management with iv fluid, antibiotics, antiepileptics and antihypertensive patient improved. Conclusion: If recognised and treated early the clinical syndrome resolves within a week. High index of clinical suspicion and prompt treatment can reduce morbidity, mortality and helps in early recovery
