Porphyria-induced Postpartum Reversible Posterior Encephalopathy Syndrome.

ABSTRACT

Acute intermittent porphyria (AIP) is a rare condition that needs to be kept in mind where its early recognition, conservative management, and removal of the precipitating factor are the key factors in its management. This "little imitator" presented with varied symptoms is often misdiagnosed. The diagnosis requires a strong index of suspicion as choosing an antiepileptic medication in the management of seizure requires a judicial choice to avoid precipitation of the underlying illness.
