Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy in a Patient with Eclampsia.

A case of a patient admitted to the hospital for preterm labor, who was diagnosed with and treated for posterior reversible encephalopathy (PRES) is presented in detail. During labor, the patient experienced a sudden increase in blood pressure with disturbance of consciousness and visual disturbances. Medical imaging examination revealed vasogenic edema in multiple locations in the brain. After administering treatment neurological symptoms receded. The presented case proves that PRES should always be considered in similar cases.
