Posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome on COVID-19.

ABSTRACT

For the time being, COVID-19 has been endemic and presents a varied neurological picture. Moreover, one of the remarkable neurological pictures is posterior reversible encephalopathy. It is a neurotoxic state which is considered a rare manifestation; however, it is essential to recognize. It originates from the disturbance of the blood-brain barrier which causes vasogenic edema and most commonly occurred in the parieto-occipital regions. Thus, we presented a case of a patient diagnosed with COVID-19 infection with posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) as shown at the brain MRI examination. It was categorized as a form of brain disorder in COVID-19.
