Background: The association of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome with eclampsia has recently received a lot of attention recently. Advances in Imaging has led to better understanding of the pathophysiology of eclampsia. Present study was undertaken to study the clinical characteristics of patients with eclampsia with PRES.Methods: This is a prospective observational study of 50 cases of Eclampsia with PRES in a period of 1 year. Patients admitted with Eclampsia were subjected to neuroimaging with CT or MRI and those with diagnosis of Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome were included in the study and clinical profile analyzed.Results: Total of 50 patients were studied in the period of 1 year. The average age of patients was 21.8 years, majority of them residing in rural areas (74%) and 72% were referred cases.Conclusions: PRES is now identified as core component of Eclampsia. More studies are required to compare the outcome of Eclampsia associated with PRES and without PRES.

ABSTRACT Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a cliniconeuroradiological entity characterized by several symptoms of varied etiologies. The common symptoms are headache, confusion, seizures, cortical visual disturbances or blindness. Here, we report a 22 years old lady with 32 weeks of gestation who presented with complaints of acute onset of headache, sudden loss of vision with elevated blood pressure (BP), whose magnetic resonance venogram (MR venogram) revealed bilateral occipital T2 hyperintensity with restriction of diffusion suggestive of PRES. Early identification and treatment usually results in complete reversal of the deficits and delayed diagnosis and improper management can lead to irreversible sequelae.

Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES) is a very rare cause of sudden onset vision loss in pregnancy. There are only few case reports in literature. It is characterized by headache, seizures, altered mental status and visual deficits ranging from visual neglect to cortical blindness. Here a case if PRES has been reported with discussion on its pathophysiology. NJOG 2011 Nov-Dec; 6 (2): 51-52 DOI: http://dx.doi.org/10.3126/njog.v6i2.6759
