- Abstract
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical and radiologic entity characterized by headache, variable mental status, epileptic seizures, visual disturbances, and typical transient changes in the posterior cerebral perfusion. Parieto-occipital region is the most commonly involved site in this syndrome. Less commonly, brainstem, basal ganglia, and cerebellum are involved besides the supratentorial white matter areas. However, isolated brainstem involvement is very rare. We here present a case of isolated brainstem involvement in posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome diagnosed by diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging.
