1、Posterior reversible encephalopathysyndrome(PRES),Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome(PRES)was first reported by Hinchey in 1996.1.It may occur due to a number of causes predominantly malignant hypertension,eclampsia,drugs such as tacrolimus,cyclosporine,autoimmune disease and patients unde

3、ness to stupor,seizures,vomiting,mental abnormalities including confusion and abnormalities of visual perception.Seizures may begin focally but usually become generalized.,Classically PRES：characterized by hyperintensity on T2-weighted and FLAIR images bilaterally and symmetrically in the parieto oc

4、cipital regions which is caused by subcortical white matter vasogenic edema.,Atypical PRES：other regions of the brain are involved except the parieto-occipital lobes.Includes brain stem,cerebellum,basal ganglia,and frontal lobes.Atypical imaging appearances include contrast enhancement,hemorrhage,un

5、ilaterality and restricteddiffusion on MRI and involvement of gray matter.,1、The more popular theory suggests that hypertension leads to failure of autoregulation,subsequent hyperperfusion,and vasogenic edema.2、The other theory suggests that vasoconstriction and hypoperfusion leads to brain ischemia

6、 and subsequent vasogenic edema.The relative paucity of sympathetic innervations in the posterior brain results in increased susceptibility to hyperperfusion and vasogenic edema during acute blood pressure elevations.Most authorities believe that hypertensive encephalopathy and eclampsia share simil

14、Atypical presentation of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome.The brain computerized tomography revealed global brain edema with a large left parietal hematoma(A),and hemorrhage in the pons(B);the axial magnetic resonance tomogram also demonstrates atypical presentation of the areas with inc

15、reased signal intensities in the pons brain stem(C).,Changes in diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging(DWI)and apparent diffusion coefficient(ADC)in posterior reversible encephalopathy is well documented,and can successfully differentiate PRES from early cerebral ischemia.DWI is the study of

17、central pontine myelinolysis.,CONCLUSION,It is of particular importance not to exclude PRES as a possible diagnosis when we have the appropriate clinical presentation which is not accompanied by the typical radiological findings since this clinical-radiological syndrome can often be manifested with atypical MRI findings.The success of the therapy lies primarily in recognizing these findings.,
