ABSTRACT
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is characterized by headache, altered mental function, seizures, and loss of vision predominantly affecting the bilateral parieto-occipital area. Most cases of PRES are associated with hypertension, or use of immunosuppressants or cytotoxic drugs; associated brainstem and cerebellar lesions are uncommon. We report herein a case of PRES that developed in a patient after injecting a steroid for cervical pain management. The presence of a territorial lesion along the vertebral artery on the same side as the pain-management procedure suggests an association between injectable steroid suspension and PRES.
