Recurrent posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome in a hypertensive patient with end-stage renal disease.
Diagnostic and Interventional Radiology : Official Journal of the Turkish Society of Radiology 2008 December
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical and radiologic entity characterized by headache, variable mental status, epilepsy, visual disturbances, and typical transient changes in the posterior cerebral perfusion. Recurrence of PRES is not common, but increasingly in recent years, studies demonstrate recurrence of this syndrome in populations with different diseases. In this report, we describe recurrent PRES in a hypertensive patient with end-stage renal disease, and discuss recurrence as the least-characterized feature of PRES. This condition can cause neurological sequelae such as persistent brain damage and epilepsy, arising from delays in diagnosis and therapy. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first report demonstrating recurrent PRES in a patient on hemodialysis for end-stage renal disease.
