A 41-year-old man was referred to our hospital presenting with drowsiness and left hemiparesis. He had a history of hypertension and chronic renal failure without any medication. He noticed hematuria one month before admission. On admission his blood pressure was 210/125 mmHg. Magnetic resonance imaging of the brain revealed hyperintensities in fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging at the...

SUMMARY We present a case of increased fluid-attenuated inversion recovery signal intensity in the subarachnoid spaces on 6-hour delayed enhanced MR imaging in a patient with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) in the setting of acute hypertensive encephalopathy. This hyperintensity was believed due to CSF gadolinium enhancement, a finding that would be anticipated in light of t...

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES), a term coined in 1996, describes a clinico-radiologic entity characterised by headache, seizures, decreased vision, impaired consciousness and white matter oedema in bilateral occipito-parietal regions [1]. Hypertensive encephalopathy, eclampsia, immunosuppressive/cytotoxic drugs, organ transplantation, renal disease, autoimmune diseases and ...

Hypertensive encephalopathy is an acute reversible syndrome caused by a sudden increase of blood pressure so crosses the limits brain auto-regulation. The objective writing this scientific paper was to present clinical manifestations hypertensive and report favorable outcomes in patients with comprehensive therapy. This empirical case study investigates symptoms Encephalopathy real life. Female...

Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by acute reversible subcortical vasogenic edema that is typically bilateral and self-limiting. It preferentially affects posterior regions of the brain. Clinical manifestations include encephalopathy, seizures, headache, and cortical blindness. PRES may be precipitated by hypertensive crises such as eclampsia and by immunosupp...

Neurological complications whether due to the uremic state or its treatment, contribute largely to the morbidity and mortality in patients with renal failure. Despite continuous therapeutic advances, many neurological complications of uremia, like uremic encephalopathy, atherosclerosis, neuropathy and myopathy fail to fully respond to dialysis. Moreover, dialytic therapy or kidney transplantati...

A 33-year old Malay woman with undiagnosed systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other comorbids presented with acute glomerularnephritis, hypertensive emergency and later acute confusional state. Cranial MRI revealed features consistent with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES).

Two female patients aged 19 years and 27 years presented with hypertensive encephalopathy and were subsequently found to have renal artery stenosis due to fibromuscular dysplasia. Both patients had had normal blood pressures recorded within the previous 6 months whilst taking the oral contraceptive pill. Their neurological state returned to normal with hypertensive control and in one case the h...
