ABSTRACT
Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) is a clinical-neuroradiological entity characterized by headache, vomiting, mental change, and seizures as well as images suggesting leptomeningeal edema involving in most cases posterior regions of the brain, as proven by magnetic resonance imaging. PRES occurred in association with severe infection, autoimmune disease, post-chemotherapy, and preeclampsia-eclampsia. Meningitis is an inflammation of the meninges. The most common causes of meningitis are viral and bacterial infections. While PRES is usually reversible, the early recognition and treatment of this syndrome is important to prevent permanent neurological disorders. The treatment is elimination of causal factors. We report a rare case of PRES after meningitis during pregnancy being treated with medical and rehabilitation treatment.
