Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological disorder characterized by symptoms such as headache, seizures, confusion, and visual disturbances, with reversible neuroimaging findings in most patients after appropriate treatment. This review summarizes the potential pathophysiology and clinical features of PRES, discusses a multimodal imaging approach, and briefly mentions seizures in pediatric population.
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a neurological disorder characterized by headache, seizures, confusion and visual disturbances, as well as potentially reversible neuroimaging findings in most patients after proper treatment. Seizures is one of the most common clinical presentations of PRES. This review summarizes the potential pathophysiology and clinical features of PRES, as well as a multimodal approach to imaging and also briefly discusses the phenomenon of seizures in paediatric population.
