Posterior reversible encephalopathy is a clinicoradiological condition
with specific features on neuro imaging. It is associated with several
medical conditions and characterized by seizures, altered mental status,
headache, and cortical blindness.
The pathology in PRES is considered to be due to vasogenic brain
edema, specifically in the posterior head region and usually fickle with
appropriate treatment. Neuro imaging shows diffuse abnormal signal
intensities involving predominantly deep white matter of occipital lobes.
We report a case of a 6-year-old boy who presented with status
epilepticus and cortical blindness.
