Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is an entity characterized by neurologic symptoms such as headaches, altered mental status, seizures and visual changes, and it is associated with white matter vasogenic edema predominantly affecting the posterior occipital and parietal lobes of the brain.
A 19-year-old patient developed PRES after the use of chemotherapy for a testicular teratocarcinoma and after the development of a blood pressure elevation.
Few cases described the involvement of the spinal cord in this syndrome. In the majority of these cases, the spinal cord involvement was asymptomatic or with few symptoms of spinal cord disease.
