AULESTIA B, Carolina; SCHROEDER, Natalia e CASTRO G, Gustavo H. Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) associated with eclampsia and HELLP syndrome. Acta Neurol Colomb. [online]. 2014, vol.30, n.1, pp.63-67. ISSN 0120-8748.
This syndrome, usually reversible, consists in symptoms like headache, altered mental status, seizures and lost of sight, associated to brain edema predominantly in posterior cerebral regions. The lack of its recognition and early management can lead to permanent neurological damage. It is presented the case of a 29 - year - old patient with 36 weeks of gestational age who arrives to the emergency room in epileptic status. She was diagnosed with eclampsia, HELLP (Hemolysis, elevated liver enzymes, low platelets) syndrome and occipital hypodense images were determined by cerebral Computarized Tomography.
