摘要
We report here on an unusual case of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in a 49-year-old woman with who suffered an acute episode of somnolence caused by massive vasogenic cerebral edema. Under intravenous antihypertensive therapy, there was significant clinical improvement associated with regressive MRI findings. This case describes the clinical manifestation and therapy of PRES in the context of the current literature.
