A case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome is a condition characterised by headache, confusion, seizures and visual disturbances. This can occur in high blood pressure and eclampsia. Magnetic resonance imaging is the gold standard. Usually the symptoms tend to resolve after a period of time. It was fi rst described by Hinchey in 1996. We had a 22-years-old primi that has delivered a caesarean section and developed blood pressure, vomiting, altered mental orientation, visual disturbances and no neurological signs. Later on she developed seizures. The diagnosis was made by Magnetic Resonance Imaging and treated. She was discharged home without any neurological defi cit.
