We report a case of malignant posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in a 62-year-old Caucasian female with a complex medical history and comorbidities admitted for bowel resection and lysis of iatrogenic bowel adhesions and enterocutaneous fistulas. Postoperatively, the patient developed sudden bilateral visual loss with no other neurologic deficits. Computed tomography scan showed very severe PRES-like changes, confirmed on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). Systolic blood pressure remained around 170 mm HG. The patient was obtunded and remained unresponsive after MRI, with minimal response and a deteriorating clinical condition. The patient was given hyperosmolar therapy with a mannitol bolus. She recovered well with near resolution of imaging findings.
我们报告一例62岁白种女性的恶性可逆性后部脑病综合征(PRES),该患者有复杂的病史和多种合并症,因肠粘连松解、医源性肠粘连和肠皮肤瘘的肠切除入院。术后,患者突然出现双侧视力丧失,无其他神经功能缺损。计算机断层扫描显示非常严重的PRES样改变,磁共振成像(MRI)证实。收缩压维持在170mmHg左右。患者意识模糊,MRI检查后仍无反应,反应极小,临床状况恶化。给予患者甘露醇推注进行高渗治疗。她恢复良好,影像学表现几乎完全消退。
