ABSTRACT
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare clinico-radiological syndrome that is characterized by an acute onset of headache, vomiting, visual abnormalities, confusion, and/or seizures and is typically accompanied with edema of predominantly posterior portions of the cerebral hemispheres. Here, we report a case of PRES with cerebral hemorrhage that occurred in a female pediatric patient with uncontrolled nephrotic syndrome. The patient's magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) studies showed asymmetric white matter abnormalities, cerebral hemorrhage, and restricted diffusion. After controlling her hypertension and nephrotic syndrome, her neurologic symptoms improved, and follow-up MRI findings revealed interval resolving of the white matter lesions.
