ABSTRACT
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is an uncommon neurological entity which presents with diverse neurological symptoms ranging from headache, seizure, visual symptoms with altered consciousness and focal signs. The hallmark of this condition is its reversibility. The etio- pathogenesis is attributed to vasogenic cerebral oedema seen in occipital and parietal lobes of brain. We hereby present this case of a multiparous lady presenting with altered sensorium postpartum. Characteristic findings on imaging helped us to form the diagnosis of PRES in this patient

ABSTRACT
A 24 year old female P1L1 presented to our hospital on first post operative day of emergency caesarean delivery with complaint of fever with chills and rigors. The per-operative notes showed the presence of thick pinkish maternal blood when compared to cord blood, which turned opaque white while sampling. On examination she had pallor and raised blood pressure. Her lipid levels were very high and ultrasound showed bilateral mild pleural effusion with minimal ascites with increase echogenicity of peripancreatic fat. She was started on injectable antibiotics following which she improved in symptoms. She was also started on fenofibrate and orlistat following which her lipid profile improved and the blood stopped turning opaque white and she was then discharged against medical advice due to financial constraints
