Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a rapidly progressive neurologic condition presenting with typical symptoms including headache, nausea, vomiting, altered mental status, and visual defects. Neuroimaging profile, particularly magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), is the most important tool for diagnosis. The most commonly reported etiological factors include hypertensive emergency and renal disease. We describe a 67-year-old lady who developed clinical and radiological characteristics of PRES secondary to Varicella encephalitis.
