Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome developing after eclampsia: a case report

Objective: We aimed to discuss a posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) case, in which the findings such as headache, confusion, seizure, impairment of the visual field and acuity, hemiparesis, and speech and consciousness disorder are observed along with hypertensive disorders of the pregnancy. Case: In this report, we have presented a PRES diagnosis in a severe preeclamptic case at 36 weeks of gestation. She represented with retrograde amnesia, confusion, and postpartum headache. Conclusion: With appropriate treatment, PRES is a curable condition without sequel. However, late intervention has high permanent neurological sequel risk. It should not be forgotten that early intervention to etiological reason is the most important factor for favorable prognosis.
