Abstract
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical and radiological entity of acute neurological symptoms associated with characteristic MRI finding. Vasogenic edema in the white matter of parieto-occipital regions is the classical MRI findings. Spinal cord involvement in PRES is extremely rare and frequently underrecognized condition. Recently, a variant-type PRES with isolated involvement of infratentorial structures is getting more attention. Herein, we present a case of hypertensive emergency and associated radiological features of PRES with isolated involvement of the brain stem, cerebellum, and spinal cord.
