Post Partum Eclampsia with Atypical Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome - Case Report
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rare but serious clinical-neuroradiological entity characterized by headache, vomiting, visual disturbances, altered mental status, seizures, and unconsciousness, as well as characteristic imaging findings such as subcortical vasogenic edema in the bilateral parietal and occipital lobes. Eclampsia, a common obstetric emergency in pregnant or postpartum women, is a risk factor for posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome. The majority of eclampsia cases develop after childbirth. We report a woman with PRES associated with eclampsia 15 Days post-delivery.
