A Case of Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome Caused by Transient Hypercoagulable State Induced by Infection

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome caused by tacrolimus: a case report

Objective: Explore the clinical and imaging manifestation in one case of reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) after treatment with tacrolimus. Methods: The clinical and imaging data of this RPLS patient was retrospectively analyzed. Results: MR imaging showed abnormal signals bilaterally in both hemispheres of the cerebellum, the cortex, and in the subcortical area. Low sign...

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome caused by blood transfusion: a case report.

This is a case report of a 32-year-old woman with chronic severe anemia who developed headaches and seizures 5 days after receiving a blood transfusion of eight units (1600 ml) of packed red blood cells. Magnetic resonance imaging indicated vasogenic edematous lesions bilaterally over the occipital lobes that were consistent with reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS). Her blo...

Reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome.

Reversible Posterior Leukoencephalopathy Syndrome

Hinchey et al used the term „reversible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome“ in 1996 to describe a syndrome characterized by headache, confusion, seizures and vision disturbances, including cortical blindness, connected with reversible changes on brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) which pointed to the white matter eodema, predominantly in the posterior brain regions (1). Initially, this ...
