Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by variable associations of seizure activity, consciousness impairment, headaches, visual abnormalities, nausea/vomiting, and focal neurological signs. The PRES may occur in diverse situations. The findings on neuroimaging in PRES are often symmetric and predominate edema in the white matter of the brain areas perfused by the posterior brain circulation, which is reversible when the underlying cause is treated. We report the case of PRES in normotensive patient with hyponatremia.
后部可逆性脑病综合征(PRES)的特征是癫痫活动、意识障碍、头痛、视觉异常、恶心/呕吐和局灶性神经体征等多种表现。PRES可发生于多种情况。PRES的神经影像学表现通常是对称的,主要为后循环供血脑区白质水肿,在治疗潜在病因后可逆转。我们报告一例低钠血症的血压正常患者发生PRES的病例。
