ABSTRACT
The reVersible posterior leukoencephalopathy syndrome (RPLS) describes a syndrome of headaches, confusion, seizures, and visual disturbances associated with transient, predominantly posterior cerebral lesions revealed by neuroimaging. RPLS has been associated clinically with hypertension, immunosuppression, and known triggers include acute renal failure, eclampsia, cyclosporine, and lupus. We report a 45-year-old male with chronic renal failure showed RPLS following hemodialysis and review literatures.
