Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) is being increasingly described with various etiologies even in the absence of hypertension. We present an 11-year-old patient with acute lymphoblastic leukemia who presented with seizures while on treatment with L-asparaginase. MRI showed bilaterally symmetrical nonenhancing occipital lesions characteristic of RPLS. L-Asparaginase-induced RPLS is a rare cause of neurological symptoms in patients on induction chemotherapy Copyright (C) 2002 S. Karger AG, Basel.
