ABSTRACT
Afemale patient with recurrent posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, severe hypocalcemia due to extirpation of the parathyroid glands is described. The disease was characterized by the acute development of headache, seizures, cognitive and behavioral disorders, mental confusion, transitory blood pressure increasing. The vasogenic edema in the posterior parts of the brain, detected by CT at the first exacerbation,was completely regressed. The residual neurological deficit and MRI changes remained after the recurrent exacerbations. Main clinical features of PRESare explained by hypocalcemia and accompanying electrolyte disturbances.The reported case shows the necessity to study blood electrolytes in patients with PRES to clarify their pathogenic role and the necessity of drug correction.
