Atypical Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome due to Oral Tyrosine Kinase Inhibitor Cabozantinib: First Case Report

We report here a rare case of atypical posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) due to oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor cabozantinib. No case reports of such have been found in our literature search. The patient, a 70-year-old female with metastatic renal cell cancer on oral tyrosine kinase inhibitor cabozantinib, was brought into the emergency room because of confusion and seizures, found to have elevated blood pressure and atypical MRI findings consistent with PRES due to cabozantinib.
