The Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome (PRES), is a rare entity that is associated with hypertension, autoimmune diseases and cancer drugs. We describe a 62 year old female patient with myasthenic crisis that following treatment with immunoglobulin G who presents neurological impairment, with initial MRI lesions suggestive of PRES, which were confirmed in control imaging.
