Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome in a Thalassemia Minor Woman after in vitro Fertilization

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) as a complication of severe preeclampsia occurs most frequently in the third trimester of pregnancy and may evolve unfavourable outcomes increasing fetal and maternal mortality (1). Herein, we report a thalassemia minor patient with twin pregnancy who developed PRES. Most studies indicate that IVF-pregnancies and oocyte donation are associated with more obstetric complications increasing risk of maternal mortality when compared to naturally conceived pregnancies (2-5).
