Radiologically confirmed, novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19)-related neurological manifestations are being reported with increasing frequency since the outbreak of the disease. We describe a 54-year-old male with COVID-19, who demonstrated radiological and clinical findings of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome(PRES). The proposed mechanism suggested for COVID-19-related PRES is a disease induced inflammatory storm, which causes endothelial injury, resulting in endothelialdysfunction (ED), interstitial fluid extravasation and cerebral edema. Key Words: COVID-19, Encephalopathy, Neurological complications, PRES.
自疾病爆发以来，越来越多的新型冠状病毒病 2019（COVID-19）相关神经系统表现被放射学证实。我们描述了一例 54 岁男性 COVID-19 患者，其表现为后部可逆性脑病综合征（PRES）的放射学和临床发现。推测 COVID-19 相关 PRES 的发病机制是疾病诱导的炎症风暴，导致内皮损伤，引起内皮功能障碍（ED）、间质液渗出和脑水肿。关键词：COVID-19、脑病、神经并发症、PRES。
