For the time being, COVID-19 has been endemic and presents a varied neurological picture. Moreover, one of the remarkable neurological pictures is posterior reversible encephalopathy. It is a neurotoxic state which is considered a rare manifestation; however, it is essential to recognize. It originates from the disturbance of the blood-brain barrier which causes vasogenic edema and most commonly occurred in the parieto-occipital regions. Thus, we presented a case of a patient diagnosed with COVID-19 infection with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) as shown at the brain MRI examination. It was categorized as a form of brain disorder in COVID-19.
目前,新冠病毒已成为地方性流行病,并呈现出多样的神经症状表现。此外,其中一种显著的神经症状表现是后部可逆性脑病。它是一种神经毒性状态,被认为是一种罕见的表现;然而,识别它至关重要。它源于血脑屏障的紊乱,会导致血管源性水肿,最常发生在顶枕区。因此,我们展示了一例经脑磁共振成像检查确诊为新冠病毒感染并发后部可逆性脑病综合征(PRES)的患者病例。它被归类为新冠病毒感染导致的一种脑部疾病形式。
