Hypertensive Encephalopathy with Reversible Brainstem Edema
Presented here is a 36-year-old male with arterial hypertension who developed brainstem edema and intracranial hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance scan revealed diffuse brainstem hyperintensity in T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion-recovery images, with an increase in apparent diffusion coefficient values. After a reduction in blood pressure, rapid resolution of the brainstem edema was obser...
متن کاملHypertensive encephalopathy extending into the whole brainstem and deep structures.
In patients with hypertensive encephalopathy, brain edema is frequently distributed in the parieto-occipital white matter. We report a patient with high arterial blood pressure of over 300/160 mmHg on admission, who had extensive MRI-documented reversible lesions throughout the whole brain, including the brainstem, thalami, basal ganglia, and cerebellum. Extraordinarily severe acceleration of h...
متن کاملIsolated Brainstem Involvement in a Patient with Hypertensive Encephalopathy
Hypertensive encephalopathy typically presents with headache, confusion, and bilateral parietooccipital vasogenic edema. Brainstem edema in hypertensive encephalopathy usually occurs in association with typical supratentorial parieto-occipital changes and is usually asymptomatic. We report here a patient with hypertensive encephalopathy, with isolated brain stem involvement on magnetic resonanc...
متن کاملTwo Cases of Hypertensive Encephalopathy Involving the Brainstem
Hypertensive encephalopathy is a medical emergency whose clinical manifestations are usually associated with bilateral parieto-occipital lesions. Predominant brainstem edema without accompanying occipital lesions is rare in hypertensive encephalopathy and usually occurs in patients with secondary hypertension. We describe the clinical and radiological features of two patients with reversible hy...
متن کاملClinical and radiological features of brainstem variant of hypertensive encephalopathy.
BACKGROUND The "posterior reversible leukoencephalopathy" syndrome, generally observed in the setting of severe, acute hypertension, often correlates with radiological abnormalities that involve the occipital lobes and other hemispheric areas. A predominant involvement of the brainstem in this syndrome is rare. PATIENTS We report three patients with previously known or newly diagnosed severe ...
