摘要：
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a combined clinical and radiological syndrome characterised by headaches, encephalopathy, seizures and visual loss. We present the case of a 55-year-old male who developed this condition following treatment with deoxycoformycin and alemtuzumab. We review the literature considering diagnosis, pathophysiology and optimal strategies for treatment of this condition.
