Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical and radiological syndrome, characterized by acute onset of headache, altered mental status, visual impairment, nausea, vomiting, seizure, and hypertension. PRES is a reversible condition if it is recognized early, but neurological damage or even death may occur.
